PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Combined Speed Indicator and Watch for
Cyclists.
1, HENRY CHARLES SMITH 24 Woodside Avenue South Norwood London S.E.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved combined speed indicator and watch
for cyclists.
The bezel carrying the outer glass or cover is provided with a hand or pointer
which may be set so as to give an indication, as the bezel may be turned so that the
band or pointer will indicate the gearing of the wheel and the second hand is
formed so that one of its ends will travel from a point or zero mark upon the dial,
to the different gearing indications upon the dial of the watch and the rider by
counting the number of revolutions of the pedal between the zero mark and gear
indications on the dial will be able to ascertain the mileage at which he is travelling
per hour; the indicator hand on the bezel being set at the indication representing
the gearing of the driving wheel of the machine.
Dated this 4th day of February 1896.

A New or Improved Combined Speed Indicator and Watch for
Cyclists.
I, HENRY CHARLES SMITH 24 Woodside Avenue South Norwood London S.E.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to a new or improved combined speed indicator and watch
for cyclists.
The bezel carrying the outer glass or cover is provided with a hand or pointer
which may be set so as to give an indication, as the bezel may be turned so that
the hand or pointer will indicate the gearing of the wheel and the second hand is
formed so that one of its ends will travel from a point or zero mark upon the dial
to the different gearing or indications upon the dial of the watch and the rider by
counting the number of revolutions of the pedal between the zero mark and gear
indications on the dial will be able to ascertain the mileage at which he is travelling
per hour; the indicator hand or the bezel being set at the indication representing
the gearing of the driving wheel of the machine.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I will now refer to the
annexed drawings in which :-
Figure 1. is a front elevation of a watch provided with my invention,

page_text: a is the dial of the watch upon which is marked or carried the indications b.
These indications are calculated so that when the second hand e of the watch
passes from the mark c to the desired gear indication 6 by counting the number of
times the pedal rotates will give the mileage per hour.
d is a mark upon the glass which by turning the bezel may be set to indicate the
desired gear of the wheel of the velocipede. Or if desired instead of a mark
upon the glass, a separate hand or pointer may be employed.
It will be seen that it is only necessary to know what the gear of the driving
wheel of the machine is in order to be able at any time to find the mileage at
which the rider is travelling.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. The improved speed indicator and watch combined consisting of a watch
having indications marked or carried upon the dial of same in combination with
an adjustable pointer or mark and a seconds hand.
