I have a specification for a water pipe pressure gauge that reads as follows:
Minimum 4-1/2" diameter die cast aluminum case, glass or acrylic plastic window, phosphor bronze bourdon tube with BRONZE BUSHED MOVEMENT, recalibration from front of gauge dial and 1/4" NPT forged brass socket.

Can you try to explain the concept of what bushed movement means? Like layman's terms?

All of the pivot or rotating points are a bronze bushing. It is a very common method manufacture for quality pressure gages.
The bushings are very similar in principal to the jewels provided as bearings for quality mechanical watches.

It means that the gauge is designed for rapid and frequent pressure changes as opposed to other lighter duty gauges that have teflon or nylon bushings in them. Put simply, it's designed to take more of a beating.

It means exactly that.....it has bronze bushes for the spindle bearings.
