Abstract
A meter is disclosed wherein a light source is disposed behind the face thereof. A light path from the light source is defined in part by a reflective surface on the needle which directs light from the light source onto a portion of the face that is in the immediate vicinity of the needle. The reflecting surface is opaque which causes the needle to appear as a silhouette over the illuminated portion of the face.
