Bourdon gauge is a type of aneroid pressure gauge consisting of a flattened curved tube attached to a pointer that moves around a dial. As the pressure in the tube increases, the tube tends to straighten and the pointer indicates the applied pressure.

Why the instrument is named Screw gauge?
The instrument is called a screw gauge, or more often a micrometer, because it uses a screw to amplify a very small movement so that it can easily be read. The heart of the screw gauge is a very accurately ground thread, usually of 0.5mm pitch, so that the axial movement of the screw corresponds to a much larger movement of a barrel which carries a scale. The instrument can be difficult to read because two readings have to be added, one measuring to 0.5mm the linear motion of the screw, and the other on the barrel giving the 1/100 ths. To some extent this instrument has been superseded by the electronic digital version, which does not incorporate a screw thread. A different gauge, called a thread gauge, comprises a set of metal blades with serrated edges which can be used to identify different screw threads by matching the right blade to the thread by trial and error.

How do you adjust the low beam headlights on a 2004 Mini with standard lights not auto adjusting which screws do you turn - hard to see them?
The adjusting screws for the low beam headlights on a 2004 Mini are on the sides of the headlights. There is a screw on the side for adjusting from one side to the other. There is also a screw on the bottom for adjusting up or down.
