[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 16348, member: 456"] Amazing really. Dick Sherwin came up with something which looks almost identical to BigEd's after we had used the Francois Grosset item. There are pros and cons with both items. Dick broke the engraved CD which was the first type that we used. I can see why Francois used the idea of a CD as they are very light weight and designed to put up with far more revs than our bikes can manage but one does have to be careful while handling it. It also has only a 120 mm diameter so that the engraved scale is quite small. The item like BigEd's can use a larger disk but only goes at half engine speed which again restricts the accuracy with which it can be read. Of the two I preferred Francois' design provided that one can be careful while handling the disk. Initially I was suspicious of driving the disk with the later design from the nut in the center of the ATD and I still have reservation over that. [/QUOTE]
