[Q] Shaft speed measurement (again, based on response)

["Paul T. Mobbs" <mobbster@eci1.ucsb.edu>]

Here I am replying to my question...

>From the suggestions I see that I might need to take direct measurements
somehow. As a consolation for this could someone please tell me how this
is done in cars. If I could find out how to make a standard RPM gauge work
then I might have some hope for this.

Don't the RPMs feed into the electronic control of an ICE for cruise
control and other electronically controlled functions? If so, how is this
interface done?

Come on people, I know someone knows this!!

Thanks,
Paul
