Subject:      Temp gauge label explanation?

I am a little puzzled about the labeling on the temperature gauge (84 WBX).

The engine starts cold, and the pointer is over on the left hand side.
That side of the scale has a box.  After the engine has warmed up, the
pointer generally swings up out of the box to straight up and that's
where it lives, mostly.

So cold is on the left, and hot is on the right.

I presume that if it swings more to the right then we are heating up.
There is nothing on the right to indicate "Help! Too Hot!"

And what of the larger box on the left? "Brr, I am too cold?"

I would expect the box on the left to be the Hot Zone, but the pointer
goes the other way.
