Abstract :
The simple speed-indicating device described possesses low inertia, low friction, no residual output at zero speed, and a d-c output voltage precisely proportional to speed. Although this tachometer is still in the prototype stage, it is anticipated that an instrument can be produced which would be superior to the types now available.
