Vintage idletach Compact Vibrating Reed Tachometers This is an Idletach vibrating tachometer by Amflo. Very
unusual item in its original box. Because these
tachometers measure speeds by contact, this type of tachometer is can be used for many speed measuring problems, especially checking speeds of totally
enclosed rotating equipment. These tachometers operate on the well known and
time tested principle of resonance. The instrument
is simply held against motor, turbine, pump, compressor, or other rotating
equipment and the speed is shown by the vibration of a steel reed which is
tuned to a certain standard speed. Ruggedly constructed, permanent accuracy, simple to
use. The instrument imposes no load and cannot be damaged by overspeeding.
Accuracy is 0.5% of rated speed. This is very old item from the 50s. A fantastic addition for the Car
enthusiast and old time mechanics. among Cars listed are This is a great display for a collection, in the original box, to
boot! |

CAR tech: who's to blame for your car's terrible fuel economy?
Mon, 12 Aug 2013In early 2013 Audi lost a case brought by the Advertising Standard Agency (ASA) because of ‘misleading’ fuel economy figures used in an advert, after a customer complained they couldn’t get anywhere near the 68mpg quoted. The court case once more exposes the yawning gap between officially sanctioned mpg figures and those experienced by owners. A recent study by the Independent Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) looked at cars sold in the UK and Europe, and discovered the difference between official mpg figures and real-world driving had grown from 8% in 2001 to a barely believable 21% in 2011.
