Old contact type Starrett hand-held tachometer
Old contact type Starrett hand-held tachometer
(OP)
Hi Guys ! I have recently bought an old Starrett hand-held tachometer, but don't know how to read it,or maybe it is faulty !!!. It is the type that looks like an old carbine gun ! You put the end directly on the centre of the shaft that you want to check the speed of,the read-out centre revolves, but there is the problem.....I don't know how to read it as it does not stop at any point to read it !!!
Can anybody give any advice please ?
Cheers Guys......Dave

Can't say I'm fanmiliar with the unit, but maybe it has a fixed gear ratio and it is intended to be used in conjunction with a stopwatch to measure the time taken for one sweep of the hand to be completed?
