Other than the "W" gears that drive the odometer, what is different about
the "Diesel" speedometer?  The rotation of the input shaft is magnetically
coupled via eddy currents to the spring-biased device to which the needle
is attached.  The faster the shaft turns the more torque produced to
counteract the spring force.  The angular displacement thus created is
resolved by the scale on the face of the speedo and the needle position to
indicate speed.

Or I could be wrong.

Pensionerd.
