Founded as watchmakers in London in 1851, Smiths entered the motor instrument trade early on. The firm became S. Smith<br />
& Sons (Motor Accessories) Ltd in 1914, by which time it had made more than 50,000 speedometers <strong>and</strong> was employing 400<br />
workers at its Cricklewood, London factory. By 1927 Smiths had become a household name in the motor accessory field <strong>and</strong><br />
at the 1965 Earls Court Motor Show had six different st<strong>and</strong>s to display its products: Radiomobile radios, British Jaegar<br />
instruments, Lodge plugs, KLG plugs, Smiths heaters <strong>and</strong>, of course, Smiths gauges. Smiths had become the main source<br />
of gauges for British cars in the classic period but sadly their fortunes declined in parallel with the decline of automotive<br />
manufacturing in the United Kingdom. But all is not lost because manufacture continues in a small way in the United Kingdom<br />
from which we are able to offer a selection of Smiths gauges. These classic gauges are genuine Smiths designed gauges,<br />
skillfully crafted to the original drawings <strong>and</strong> specifications, using the original tools <strong>and</strong> dies<br />
