TACHYMETER
•
The tachymeter is the device which measures the speed of an automobile. Knowing
is how many seconds the car covers a distance of 1 Km, the meter can measure the
approximate average speed per hour during a journey (up to the maxinum measurable
range of tachymeter is 60 seconds).
•
If the chronograph is started at the same time as measurement, and stopped after
1 Km, the average speed per hour can be determined according to the position of the
second hand.
•
If the car covers the distance of 1 Km in 45 seconds, the average hourly speed during
the journey will be about 80 Km.
