To measure the average speed of an object over a set distance. You must know the distance between point A and point B. But, if you don't have a watch with a tachymeter/tachometer function, you can find out speed over a measured distance if you simply know how to divide and convert.
A tachometer measures RPMs, and a hand held tachometer is used to measure the speed of smaller things, like engine parts. A hand held tachometer is usually used to measure the RPMs in a car engine, but tachometers have also been used to measure the rate of blood flow in the body.
That metal circle is called a bezel. The type you are referring to is called a tachometer bezel. Watches with a tachometer bezel have a stop watch function. If you are testing how fast your car is going, you would time how long it took you to drive 1 mile, and where the second hand of the stop watch is pointing would be how many kmh you were driving.
To hook up a handheld tachometer, first, locate the engine's spark plug wire or access the output from the ignition system. Attach the tachometer's clip or probe to the wire or use a reflective tape on a rotating part if it's an optical tachometer. Ensure the device is set to the correct measurement mode (e.g., RPM) and power it on. Finally, start the engine to read the RPM from the tachometer display.
www.checkline.com provides the opportunity of comparision of portable tachometers. they offer a complete line of Tachometer, Contact Tachometer and Combination Digital Hand-Held Tachometer.
he uses his left hand, do you not watch Waterloo road?!??! :] :]:]:]:]:]:]
A tachometer will help your engine by helping you make more efficient use of it.
Use an inductive pickup on plug-wire #1, and connected to tachometer located in vehicle.

To find north using a watch, point the hour hand towards the sun. The midpoint between the hour hand and 12 o'clock on the watch face will indicate the direction of north.
The inventor is unknown for a tachometer. However, the first documented use of a tachometer device was by the German engineer Dietrich Uhlhorn in 1817. He is credited with its first use, but not necessary as being its inventor.
Remove the instrument panel cover. Remove the tachometer retaining screws. Remove the tachometer cable from the back of the tachometer. Reverse the process to install the new tachometer.
