TRU-FLATE tire pressure guages are made by Stant. If you search the Web for
"Tru-Flate" you will find several stores that sell them. I have been using a
digital tire guage (like the one originally suggested on Soh Chio's site) up
until now to calibrate my pressure sensor (which I bought on e-Bay), but the
TRU-FLATE dial looks a better approach. I have also been using the RCX and a
pressure sensor to measure the effectiveness of different pump designs. I'll
post the results when I have finished. I think Soh Chio's Web site is great!
