More information:

A thermometer that read the temperature of the radiator's vapour. Before the hood ornament came the motometer, an ornate thermometer that screwed into the radiator cap; intended to keep the driver informed of the engine coolant temperature. With improved, thermostatic cooling, the motometer went out in the late twenties, to be replaced by hood mascots.
