The relationship between speedometer and odometer

Dear friends:

I have never removed an instrument panel to look at the actual instruments in a car. I'd like to know whether an odometer actually gets its numbers based on the average speed fed to it by the speedometer, or a speedometer and odometer get their numbers from 2 separate signal cables coming from 2 different sensors? Thanks.

Best regards,

Eric

Eric:

One input for both. The speed needle is reading the turning speed of the shaft that has gears to drive the odo.
