Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 Tachs

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

I noticed this? from films back in the 1950's and '60s with British Lucas and 
Smiths tachs. They were built this way and there's a reason, but I forgot why. 
Sir Sterling had them in his Coopers and Lotus cars for sure.

    Was watching a 70s-80s Montecarlo F1 race and their in-car camera with the 
F1 tachometers in screen they  seem to have delayed movements -- also,  they 
seem to bounce several 1000 rpm's in a very jerky motion. Seems like some 
historic cars from 30s do the same.

    Is this the way the tachs are wired?  Or is the sensor erratic - although 
that seems unlikely. \\

    Just curious -  thx
