[DML] Re: Speedometer Update

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh for goodness sakes, you know what I mean -- there's no direct
linkage between the cable and the speedometer needle like there is
between the cable and the odometer numbers. I call the properties of a
magnet "electrical". Whatever the proper term, the cable is not
physically connected to the speedometer. That's what allows it to
bounce and flutter (don't see the odometer behaving like that).
