How does the Speedometer/Tach needle work?
Does anyone else wonder how the needle for the Speedometer/Tach works?
It seems like it's floating (Obviously it's not, but that's what it looks like). I don't see it attached to anything.

They are floating. Acura has a patented "magic mechanism" that makes the needles float around the dial. They are working on applying this mechanism to the tires of their 2018 hovercar.
