Houston, Texas, United States
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! |

New Audi S6, S7, S8 and RS6 to get Bentley V8
Sat, 18 Jun 2011The 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.
