Halda Tripmaster made with an alloy case or plastic case. This is an Odometer (or mileometer) which reads to 1/100th of a mile or kilometre and can be calibrated extremely accurately. This is done by changing one or, a pair of gear wheels, when initially setting the unit up. The read-out can be zeroed by the pull of a knob, advanced or reversed by hand and made to run forward or backward or turned off. |
|
Halda Twinmaster is in effect two Tripmasters combined into one casing so you can use one meter for the day's or section's total mileage and the other for each interval between road book instructions. There are two versions of both Twinmasters and Tripmasters, the earlier has a metal outer case and minor internal improvements. Both are driven from the car's speedometer cable by means of a “T”-gear (a right angle drive take off) which screws in between the speedo cable and speedometer and another similar cable. In a couple of minutes you can swap gears to allow for different axle ratios or tyres and change to miles or kilometre, provided you have set it up beforehand. |

| Instrument Adjustments |

|
Adjustment Possibilities For this purpose you will require a few X-gear wheels and possibly - but unlikely - one Z-gear wheel. The number of different X-wheels you will need depends on within what percentage range you want to be able to adjust up or down. |
How to Choose X-wheels The table below shows the range of X-wheels available. Against each of them you will find a percentage figure. This figure is the percentage with which the odometer reading changes per tooth deviation from that very wheel. Example: If your instrument is fitted with X-wheel 141, a change to X-wheel 140 increases your odometer reading by 0.709%. In the same way a change from 141 to, for instance, 137 increases your odometer reading by 2.836% (4 teeth x 0.709% = 2.836%).
Rule of thumb: If your instrument shows: |

From this table you will be able to decide which X-wheels you may need around the one fitted in your instrument.
Example:
On receipt of wheels ordered, we suggest that - for easy reference - you mark them with the percentage, PLUS or MINUS, that each wheel means to your instrument, thus avoiding mathematics during the rally. A special storage unit, shown in the brochure, permits complete protection for your extra gear wheels and keeps them in neat order readily available for use. A spare gear holder is another useful accessory for fast adjustment during a rally. You then also need a spare Z-wheel with the same number of teeth that you have in your instrument. When you know what X-wheel to use to equal the "Rally-Master's mile", you fit this and the Z-wheel to your spare gear holder and you then have a complete unit ready for inserting in the instrument, thereby further reducing the short time it takes to change gears. We suggest that you order the parts you require from the same company that delivered your instrument.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
HALDA MASTER is connected to the speedometer as shown in figure 1. The speedometer cable 4 is detached from the speedometer 1 and screwed instead on to the T-gear 3, which in turn is screwed direct on to the speedometer. In special cases where space is lacking, it may be necessary to insert an extension cable 2 between the speedometer and the T-gear. The drive cable 5 joints the T-gear to the MASTER 8. MASTERS are supplied as standard with the connection for the drive cable direct from the rear as shown on figure 1, alternative 1. If the connection is required at a right angle as shown in alternative 2, it is necessary to order as an extra, an L-gear part No. 705512. When several instruments are joined in series as alternative 3, a special T-gear with through drive, part No. 705508, must be ordered as additional equipment. |

The drive cable is supplied with standard length of 24" (600 mm). Other lengths from table 1 are available if requested at the time of ordering. T-gear for connection to the speedometer is supplied with screw connection and driving pin appropriate to the car for which it is required. Extension cables are supplied as extra accessories.
When calibrating, the MASTER is zeroed and a trial run is made over an exact measured distance of 1-mile (km). The figure shown on the MASTER at the end of this test is multiplied by 10 and the resultant figure is sought in the table. This then shows the correct number of teeth required on the X- and Z-wheels. Example: Suppose after the test that the 1/100 mile (km) figure wheel has stopped exactly between 3 and 4 and the 1/10 mile (km) figure wheel on 6 - then the total registered would be 63.5. Multiplying by 10 gives 635. Checking this value for R in the table shows that for this figure Z = 48 and X = 134. The X- and Z-wheels so determined must be fitted in the MASTER for this to show the correct distance. |
