B tried to make the 247 "the" airliner but was overshadowed by the DC-2 and DC-3.
Part of the issue was that B would only sell them to United Airlines, which they owned at the time.
I understand CHT = cylinder head. but it is not indicated on the front of the gauge. I work on old warbirds and many of them use gauges from manufacturers other than the prime contractor. Most of our planes have CHT on the gauge and also list the temps in X100. we do have planes with carb temp monitors but we only have three twin engine planes. B-25, C119, and a DC3.
