Abstract
A tachometer redline display system having separately controllable sections for illuminating one or more of the sections from a removable outside programmable source. The selection of particular ones of the illumination portions allows for construction of a tachometer display device usable with all types of engines. Different redline requirements for different engines are taken into account by the number of illumination portions being turned on in response to the outside programmable source to provide improved efficiency in production and a streamlining of vehicle assembly lines containing tachometers.
