" improved speedometer, but its novel construc- '-aS 'Welli tion will be found useful in other'instruments "Among the objects brine invention are an improvement in the'mounting of the magnet for a magneticspeedometer, an improvement in the mountingof a rotor shaft, and an im-,

appear as the full description proceeds. I i
In the drawings a Figure 1 is'a toprplan view of the frame and parts of the speedometer, the casing hav ing been removed. Figure-2iis a vertical section on line 22 of Figure 1. Figure 3 is a rear elevationof the lower part of the instrument. Figure 4 is a section on line 44 of Figure 3. Figure 5 is a detail showing in section the lower bearing of -a speed cup spindle. V
Referring by reference characters to the drawings, numeral l rep'resents a frame mem ber carrylngthe speedometer and odometer parts. This frame is a die casting and is of a somewhat box shape. At the right of F igure 2 will be seen the annular resilientplate .3
which is fastenedto the frame and which furnishes the sole connection between the in- 'strument and its casing. It isintended that this resilient plate 3 shall take the shocks and jars from the vehicle instrument board and absorb them before they are transmitted to the delicate parts of the instrument.
The magnet 5 is of a well known U shape.
'It engages the frame at three points. The
. trally secured to the frame by machine screw f lower point of contact with the frame isshown in Figure 2 at 7 and the two upper points at 9 as in Figures 1 and 4:. For securing this magnet to the frame a relativelylong channel bar 11 is used. This bar 11 is cen- 13. .One of the walls of the channel bar near the angularity of the magnet. It will be seen also fromFigure 1 by the dotted lines that the channel member overhangs the outer sides of the magnet.

'Wa'y inthe frame and brought into geared engagement with Y the second worm shaft. For the: purpose of holding the'shaft 17in position use is madeof a clip 23. This clip is ofU shape, its upper arm engaging a shoul- I :der 26 on the shaft 17 and its-lower arm engaging the frame me'mberLj To prevent this clip slipping off the'frameand releasing its holdon shaft 17, the magnet holding bar 11 is made'use of. I From Figure 2 it will be seen that the central portion of this magnet holding bar projectsupwards sufliciently to prevent the clip23 fromslipping'off the frame The speed'indicatingmemberof the speedometer, or the speed cup; so-called, is mountedvby means of clamps25 on the sprindle 27.

It 'Willbe -SGGIPfI'OmIFlgUI'G 2 and better still from Figure i51that'the upper endof the rotorshaft .17 is provided with a shouldered recess 29. 4 Into this recess is inserted a-jewel carrier 31. :In the-bottom ofthejewel car rier is ajewel 33, the. upper surface of which is finishedto furnish a bearing for the'end of the spindle 27.
