Kirk,
I've owned my 67 Alpine from new and have owned 16 Alpines & Tigers over the
years. "From the factory" all instruments have Jaeger on the faces ( I
believe Jaeger was a division of Smiths) with the exception of the clock
(Smith's)
and ammeter (Lucas).
I also have NOS Jaeger gauges in my inventory and guess what, they are in a
Smith's boxes!
Hope this helps,
Curt

I think a little clarification is in order...First off, I have a huge amount
of respect for Norm and what he means to the Tiger community. He's been a
help to me on more than one occasion, and I consider him a friend.
The conversation I had with Norm several years ago was not about ammeters. I
had querried him about not finding any info in the BON on Jaeger instruments.
There was mention of Smiths and Lucas (yes, for the ammeter). I know there
is
a Smiths/Jaeger connection, but I couldn't find references to the Jaeger
instrument faces in the BON, and that's what I was asking Norm about.
On to the present day- I should have read Peter's email a little more
carefully. Yes, Lucas supplied the optional 30/30 ammeter from the factory.
The Lucas 35/35 would have been for an alternator equipped car. CAT has been
selling the Jaeger 30/30 since sometime in the '70's. If you have Jaeger
faced instruments and want a matching 30/30 ammeter, then Jaeger would be
fine, just not factory supplied. Hope that clears that up!
Hey, let's not forget, I won the 'Tiger Quiz' at TU XXVIII in Santa Maria:)
That counts for something, right?
Kirk.
