    Excessive noise: Due to principles of operation, centrifugal type tachometers are necessarily noisier in operation than magnetic type instruments. Therefore, a whirring noise in the instrument when operated at high speed does not necessarily indicate trouble. TM 9-1829A, April 1944 71/100 2021-07-07...
