Abstract
An arrangement for indicator meters for automobiles, in which a speed meter and a tachometer are coaxially arranged in a front-and-back positional relationship in the lengthwise direction of the vehicle body so that they may be more readily observed with the least movement of eyes as well as from one and same direction. Also disclosed is an arrangement for the warning indicator devices, in which such warning indicators as turning directions, operating conditions of brakes, dynamo, and so forth are arranged in vacant space around dial plates for the speed meter and tachometer, and such warning indicator devices are accommodated in a cavity formed on the top raised portion of a steering handle column cover. Further, disclosed is an arrangement of a lamp to illuminate the dial plates and the indicator needles of the speed meter and the tachometer, in which the illuminating lamp is fixedly provided at a position in front of the dial plates so as to directly illuminate the dial plates and the indicator needles, and the lamp thus fitted is covered with the top raised portion of the steering handle column cover.
