I am struggling to see your point???Very nice, but I've never understood why rpm is shown in hundreds rather than thousands - for instance we never say twenty hundred rpm, always two thousand, so why show 20 and not 2?
If the needle is pointing at 2 and the scale is x1000 then 2x1000 = 2000 rpm which is correct.
If the needle is pointing at say 1.6 then 1.6 X 1000 = 1600 rpm which is correct.
