Mechanical Hubometer - date of development?

[edit]

It would improve the article to include the date of the development of the mechanical Hubometer. Also, the later developments are covered but not supported by sources.--TGC55 (talk) 15:20, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

In Popular Mechanics , february 1947, p 107, there is a picture of a hub meter, so the device existed then, and was not novel in 1952 . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.82.223.191 (talk) 06:08, 26 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

As in the piece from the Smithsonian. It was developed by Veeder in 1895 as a bicycle hub counter. The company was formed at the same time. References: [1] [2]
