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 Hudson, Studebaker, Imperial, Plymouth, Mercury, Packard, Oldsmobile, Nash and Rambler, Desoto, Continental, and of course, Edsel.

This is a great display for a collection, in the original box, to boot!

The 2012 Audi S8 will get power from a Bentley V8 We reported back in October that Bentley and Audi were working on a new V8 that would power future models from both marques, and we asked if that would mean the end of the W12 in the Bentley. Because although it was claimed that the V8 being developed would be used as an entry-level lump for the Continental GT – a nod to more frugal times – we did think it likely it would be more than that. And now we’re convinced.
