Aha!. I recall with my old Morris 1000 the speedo topped out at 80mph but t=
here was no stop for the speedo needle so the old joke was doing "half a ta=
nk" downhill as the fuel gauge was inset at the bottom of the speedo gauge.=
Half a tank would be around 100mph.

The display was limited. Meaning 85 was the highest number allowed to disp=
lay. The regulation also required that 55 be called out in some fashion. =
Note that some makers put tick marks beyond 85, just without any numbers.
