[urq] Stopped Odometer

[Max Hoepli]

Anyone know of the history of materials used in odometer/speedometer
construction, when/what plastics/metals were and are used?
Finally bought a used speedo assembly for C$50.00, bugs me how just because
of one tooth that odometer no longer works, speedo and tacho work.
