Tachymetre

Using the TACHYMETRE scale The TACHYMETRE dial is mainly used to compute an average speed after noting how long it takes to travel a fixed distance (like one mile or one kilometer), but it can also be used to compute many other things. The dial is a logarithmic scale that uses this formula to compute: TACHYMETRE DIAL = 3600 / Elapsed Time In Seconds The chronograph second hand indicates 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 10, 100 or 1,000 etc. units (miles, objects, pounds etc.). When stopped, the second hand points to the number on the TACHYMETRE scale by which the number of units (1, 10, 100 or 1,000 etc.) must be multiplied to obtain per-hour production rate or per-hour speed.

Example No. 1 – A car covers one mile in 30 seconds. The second hand, stopped as the mile marker is passed, reads 120 on the TACHYMETRE scale. Average speed of the car is 120 x 1, or 120 miles per hour.

Example No. 2 – To measuring something much slower, such as a bicycle, you must use a shorter distance because the elapsed time must fall within the 7.2 - 60 second range.

Although decimal units (100 liters, 1 mile, 10 kilometers) make computing simple, in practice, the TACHYMETRE scale can be used to calculate velocities and production rates from any number of units.

For this example, it took 36 seconds for a cyclist to travel 1/4 of a mile. Reading the TACHYMETRE dial displays a speed of 100mph, but the cyclist only traveled 1/4 of a mile, so the actual speed would be 1/4 of that or an average speed of 25mph over the quarter mile.

NOTE - The scale is valid for all elapsed times from 7.2 seconds to 60 seconds. If the duration of the event is outside this range, then the answer on the dial is not valid. Some of the following examples show ways to get around this limitation.

Example No. 3 – A copier makes 10 copies in 45 seconds. The sweep second hand was thus stopped at the 45-second mark, which coincides with the figure 80 on the TACHYMETRE scale. The hourly rate of this copier is 80 x 10, or 800 copies.

45

15

DATE

30

Example No. 4 – A manufacturing production line timed for 30 seconds produces 72 parts. Stopped at the 30-second mark, the chronograph second hand points to 120 on the TACHYMETRE scale; the production rate of the machine is 120 x 72, or 8,640 parts per hour.

More Examples: Suppose you wanted to measure the speed of a jet airplane. After traveling 10 kilometers, you noted that 40 seconds had elapsed. The TACHYMETRE dial displays 90, but you traveled 10 kilometers, so the answer would be 10 times that, or 900 km/hour. You can also measure other things, like fuel consumption. Suppose a pound of fuel took 48 seconds to burn. The chronograph second hand indicates on the TACHYMETRE dial that you are burning 75 pounds of fuel per hour.

Navigating by sun’s position: The direction will be accurate if you are using true local time* without any adjustment for daylight savings time. The further you are from the equator, the more accurate this method will be. In the northern hemisphere, bisect the angle between the hour hand and the 12 o'clock* mark and set the bezel’s S indicator to that point. Hold the watch horizontal and point the hour hand at the sun; the bezel’s N indicator will be pointing North. If there is any doubt as to which end of the line is north, remember that the sun rises in the east, sets in the west, and is due south at noon. The sun is in the east before noon and in the west after noon, so set the bezel’s S indicator to the left of 12* in the AM and to the right of 12* in the PM. *Note: If your watch is set for Daylight Savings Time instead of Standard Time, use the midway point between the hour hand and 1 o'clock to determine the north-south line. In the southern hemisphere, point 12 o’clock at the sun instead of the hour hand, the midway point between the hour hand and 12 o’clock will be the North/South line.

Alternately, you can divide the measured time at 68°F by 4.68 to get miles (10s / 4.68 = 2.14miles), or 2.66 for thousand yard distance, or by 2.91 for kilometers.

NOTE: At 32°F (0°C), sound travels at 332m or 363yds / 1,089ft per second in air at sea level. Therefore, at 32°F (0°C) sound will travel: 1 mile / 1,760 yards / 5,280 feet in 4.85 seconds 2.75 seconds 1,000 yards in 3.01 seconds 1 kilometer in
