Default Re: 9-0-9 DC Ammeter (Application?)

Could it be from an wartime airfield portable charging set? The orange paint would steer it towards a vintage tractor or bulldozer though, in my opinion. My experience of vintage motorbike ammeters is that they weren't much use due to the vibration of the single cylinder engine or whatever making the pointer swing across about 80% of the meter dial at all times. I suppose you just had to hope that it showed positive slightly when the engine was running.
