Last year I found a company in UK that marketed a twinset for military use.
This
had a plunger style tactile pressure gauge for use in nil vis by feel.
Unfortunately I have lost the link and cannot remember the company!

Anyone know who they may be, or have a link to anything with a similar
tactile pressure gauge please?

TIA, Mark.

I do not know your item, Mark,
However Draeger has such a device which protrudes and vibrates at a
special joint on your FFM. Nickname " the pecker".

The Russians had in their Oxygen CCR IDA 57 a device at the first stage.
With the bottle full, you would depress against a spring it, and upon
reaching reserve pressure, it would be released, making a distinct
clicking sound. It's possition then could be easyly felt.

PS: Draeger has a manufacturing plant near Newcastle o.T..
