Many here recall that auto magazines in the 50s and 60s used a bicycle wheel to drive a speedometer in their road tests and would cite the differences between the factory speedometer readings and their accurate bicycle wheel driven one.


Yes, that much is true. We were using such devices in the 1980s/1990s at Mazda Corporation. And I knew numerous other OEMs along with magazines that continued using them. But... I believe Packard was first to develop this device, using bicycle wheels.
