As far as I know the restorers/rebuilders of old speedometers have two ways of calibration, the tension of the return spring and the degree of magnetizing the magnets. Magnets are made from special materials but after making them you have to magnetize them, which can be done to several degrees. Many older speedo's need to be remagnetized as in time the magnets may loose their magnetism and read low, a feat not uncommon to SMITHS/Jaeger speedo's.
