Hey, having your mother and sister being the same person does have an advantage or two. Only one name to remember. Before you bash me to much, we do have a place in Fort Walton Beach.

The outer ring will also calculate the speed of your car.

Zero set all buttons and stop the timing function, while driving betwen two mile markers, when you come to the first mile marker start the timing function and when you pass the second mile marker stop the timing. Look at the outer ring and the chronometer hand will tell you how fast you are going.

What happend if you accedentally press on the bottom pusher when the timer is still running? Will it damage the gears or whatever inside? I know the bottom pusher won't engage unless the timer is stopped. But will you still damage the gears inside the movement when the timer is still running? Your help is appreciated.
