has a small (1/16") hole in the back at the top.  The website says they
are compatible with auto gas, but I have no plans to use that.

     Tom,

     I don't know, but you're reading my mind.  Brett's look similar to
     mine and I was
     going to ask if anyone had a more detail pic of the Atkinson.
     Mine appear to be
     rounded at the top and bottom.  What material are the Atkinson
     gauges made of?
