Default antique temp sensor

Need info on how a mechanical temp sensor works and how much
instantaneous current flows on a 6 volt unit. It is a King-Seeley
unit apparently with a pulsating contact in the sensor. It works on a
6 volt power suppy with high current available but not on a 3 amp
limited regulator! Trying to run it on a 12 volt system.

Thanks for any info.

In the block or head is s gtempeatore sensitive detector. Resistance
will increase with heat and change the amount of
current that can flow. The gauge wired to the battery )eventually)
will cause the needle to move to the aspot on the to show the small
ccurrent (and thus the heat of the water)

Go to your library and get an ld Dykes motor enclylopedia, if it is a
car of the 1930s or earlier. If it's a newish car, 1946 or bewer,
Dykes may stillo work or a newe book similiar to Dykes.
(My libriatran Aunt was nice enough to give me a "discard" in 1954. I
had it for years)
A full ffledged Auto Museum coculd help, too.

It is a 1930 Ghram. Pretty sure it is a switching type sensor but dont
know any details. Will try the library.

Problem is it is in AZ and I am in Minnesota and trying to help the
son get things working.

Thanks

Interesting car, the Graham. The Graham started with money from making
bottles and ended up, despite ownership changes, as part of kaiser-
Frazer, thanks to Joe Frazer, who Henry Kaiser grabbed as a partner
as he knew the uto industery.
From car making, the firm went on to owning Madison Square Gardens!"
I wrote an article, "From bottles to Barnham Bailey? or something
like that thirty or moire years ago...
