Smiths Chronometric knowledge?

[toreador13]

I am going to need to find a S467 107L Smiths Chronometric speedometer for a 1951 Thunderbird I am putting together. I am curious, are there any resources or knowledge out there about all the numbers after these speedometers? do they have to do something with rotation? The bike isn't going to start out as all original, and I am basically just getting parts together to get it running. I will slowly work on getting it to a better state after that point.

it's pretty much a Johnny Cash at the moment. It's a 51, 52, 53...

There is plenty of Chronometric information on the net, but sometimes it is hard to find. Also you can get some literature from the following links.

I've often seen information on Smiths instruments in CD ROM form on Ebay. I was lucky enough to find the 99L I needed for my T120 on the internet, so they're all out there. I think a fair number of these units differed only in detail so if you're clever (or know somebody who is), you could theoretically use another similar speedo and change the face. Bear in mind though that no Smiths Chronometric speedos, tachs or parts are cheap. Good luck
