Dear Vladimir,

Common sense tells me that there is no difference in ‘physical feel’ but that there is a great difference in the ‘mental feel’. To appreciate what I am talking about I think I can do no better than to ask you to cast your mind back to the introduction of digital watches and clocks. There was a craze for them at first but they were soon found to be less satisfactory for everyday use. People don’t look carefully at a clock and say ‘Oh, its 12.47, time for lunch.’, they glance at a clock and say, ‘nearly lunchtime’. Usually people don’t read the time, the mind absorbs the position of the hands and reacts to that.

I believe it is usual where safety is involved, like speedometers and pressure gauges, for dial gauges to be obligatory.

I certainly find it much more satisfactory reading a dial on a torsion wire meter than trying to catch a glimpse of the dancing digits on a screen.

John

Dear all
Curious from those of you that are using digital torque meters abot the feel i would think eaven that you are getting the torque reading you do not feel the rubber like on a torsion spring torque meter. Your opinions please
