K.P.H. indication on 1940 speedometer face.

[htc]

Hello,

I am restoring Ford Truck clusters.
Today I came across a cluster with a speedometer face plate that I have never seen before. It has the 1940 look and it is a Waltham but I have never seen the K.P.H. indication beneath the pointer.
Could this be Kilometer Per Hour?
I did buy the cluster from somebody in Belgium where they do not use Miles and use Kilometers instead but did Ford sell its cars in Europe in 1940 and did they go through the effort of providing kph speedometers for this?
Anybody?





When I have cleaned all parts of the speedometer and reinstalled the hairspring I will be able to test of it is km or miles but maybe somebody already knows or has a non mile 1940 Ford truck or car?

The fact that one sees 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear indications on this 100 .... face plate is another indication that this might be indeed a km face plate.
The gear indication on miles face plates is only on 60 mph speedometers and not on 100 mph.

Quite unique I think ... but then again who cares about all this detail? :-)

Greetings
Hans
