Re: Wood dip stick
Ernie,
I suspect the FO was clenching his teeth at the high cost of Leaded Premium back in the day - around 27 cents/gallon - and used the dipstick to bite on prevent damage. They did that a lot in the old Western movies every time they carved out a bullet......

Re: Wood dip stick
I apologize for not having it in metric, but the dip stick is 19 11/16" long with the 50 liter mark is just over 9 1/16" from the bottom. There is one listed on ebay right now that looks quite a bit different than this.

Re: Wood dip stick
Thanks Mark.
Mine is about 8 inches long, I guess the litre mark was chewed off
well at least now I can make a new one.
Have a great day!
