I'll quess 1951-53 calibrated in kilometers.
Are those round "water spots" by the 60 and 120 or something else?
Interesting

[montij]

The spots are metal and look like the head of a small nail
this was found in Canada where I’m located.

I am running a 1952-53 BCS Corbin on my 1946 it does not have the small nail head or rivets BUT the correct 1946-47 Corbin I have in a box (because I will probably change the speedometers in the winter after riding season does but at the 20mph and 100mph spot.

With the red teltale needle it may have been a police speedometer? Just guessing, I have no idea. Harley speedos said 'police' on them.

[PaulCDF]

Hatfield's refers to this red needle as a "maximum speed hand" no mention of police model or not. Good guess Joe.
Who would know for sure is Mr. Terry Marsh. He is Corbin Guru and hopefully he may see this and educate all of us.

Hatfields resto guide doesnt show police speedos but my 1934 police chief speedo 100mph,lighted with max hand does say police on the face bottom.I dont know about other years.

I have a spiral wound book, 'The Corbin System' by Fred J. Schuster "Doc", copyright 2001. Likely, very limited publication. Amazon has no listing, other research sources also yield no results.

Aside from Hatfield's, this book mentions not only Terry Marsh as a contributor, also to name a few, Geo. Yarocki, Peter Heintz, Woody Carson, Roger Hensley, Ken Edmiston, and many others.
171 pages, including a 9 chapter, detailed table of contents, (think Clymer's Manual), this book will help any and all Corbin owners. Does anyone else here have this really good book ?
I think I got this book for around $20. Ive owned this book since 2001. A very good book for any Corbin Speedometer owner.

Kevin Flanagan has (or had) one of these listed on his site : http://www.indiangauge.com

Doc used to run a Corbin rebuild service and when he retired Terry took the brunt of his work and parts I believe. Doc used to make the cables and fiber gears and such too. great guy. Both from the great northwest.

Thanks, I hadn't looked at Kevin's site in a long time. great refresher for me. So much of any type of reference material is long ago vanished. Some has been captured and retained by the AMCA Library, thats a good thing ! Getting access easily isn't. I still have trouble with signing onto the home page... my password keeps coming up as invalid.

"I still have trouble with signing onto the home page."

C2K That looks like a Great Book.

When I was having trouble logging onto the AMCA Home page I reached out to Mike Love and he put me in touch with the person who manages the home page.
Stupidly I lost that contact info.

Mike is probably pretty busy right now with the site changes.

On the AMCA home page there is this contact information:
