Hence cable sharp bend is eliminated at assembly condition in vehicle. This inturn prevents ovality & reduces friction of inner cable / flexible shaft during rotation. Hence enhancing the speed measuring device quality.
- This invention also deals with the above mentioned problems and proposes a solution.

- Instant invention has come out with a method and a device, wherein there is no need for the intermediate shaft for transfer of energy to measure the speed of rotation. Accordingly, the invention provides for more accurate measurement of the speed of rotation.
- avoiding intermediate shaft in the invention will result in more efficient transfer of energy. Further, this avoids wastage of energy because of indirect way of transfer of the rotary energy from first shaft to second shaft via intermediate shaft as stated in prior art. This will further reduce wear and tear of the device arid will also reduce the cost of manufacturing of the device.
