Speedometer head (240 k.p.h.)
A speedometer head reading to 240 km/h, from the speedometer and tail lamp fittings on the bike.
This is a speedometer head reading to 240 km/h, the instrument that mounts on the top of the fork or in the headlamp shell to show road speed. It shows up in the catalog under the SPEEDOMETER, TAIL LAMP AND RECTIFIER figure, so it's grouped with the other instrument and electrical fittings on the machine rather than a standalone accessory.

The km/h scale tells you this one was built for a market running metric speed limits, not a mph-market bike, so if you're restoring a machine that came in for the US or UK, double check what your original dial read before ordering this one. Catalog records tie it to appearances in the early 1960s.
The manufacturer tag on file says Amal, but Amal made carburetors, not instruments, so that tag is almost certainly wrong for a speedometer head. Historically this class of instrument came from Smiths, though our record doesn't state that outright for this specific part number, so we're not going to claim it here. Give us a call if you want to confirm who actually built this one before you order.
