Regarding the recent discussion concerning the "thimble" SPG's that
thread directly into the HP port, I caution against using these
devices.  They are often difficult to read accurately, and in low
visibility conditions, they are almost impossible.  With a full size
gauge, even in faceplace vis it is possible to hold it directly to your
mask, either after shining your light on it for luminescence, or by
holding it in front of one eye, closing the other, and shining the beam
indirectly across the closed eye.  I have also heard of several cases
of the needle sticking in the thimble gauges.
