It's called an Hour Meter and counts engine revo lutions in terms of minutes. In other words, it acts just like the speedometer on your car when it says so many hours, you grease this so many more, you change that and so on. It sure saves time in figuring costs, too. Just measure your fuel, look at your meter, and Presto! you know how much it costs to feed your "Caterpillar" Diesel.. But that's only part of our story.
