Well there you go.
See the benefit of being on a list, you can always learn something.
I knew there had to be a logical answer someplace.
Will add this little gem to my list of useful information, thanks :-))
So if the number you mention is turns per mile.
We can figure out the turns per mile of the back wheels, count the number of
teeth on the speedo drive gears in the gearbox to give us the turns per mile
the gearbox is giving us. We could get all this speedo calibration right
without turning a wheel in anger :-))

Keith,
Surprise! Yes, they did. Look carefully at the face of any Jaeger
speedometer and (usually) at the bottom, you will find very tiny numbers such
as 1060 or 980: that's the number of turns of the cable per mile and it is
different from model to model.
