Kerry, Now that's most interesting. I'd never noticed before, but will surely take note tomorrow morning when I start my car up. I teach at a community/ tech college and am surrounded by all sorts of intelligent folks. This matter will now be on my endless list of questions that need answering. I'll let you know what I learn. This speedo is mechanical, not electrical. Right?
