rpm gauge
Engine speed dial
An rpm gauge is an instrument that displays engine speed in revolutions per minute, showing how fast the crankshaft is spinning.
Found on vehicle dashboards, it helps drivers know when to shift gears and avoid over-revving.
Also called a tachometer: The rpm gauge redlined when he floored it.
