Notes

The Centregraph as well as the Zerograph are instruments of very high precision, to calculate intermediary consecutive times, i.e. when it is necessary, in one single operation, to stop, go back to zero and restart the second hand, for either sports use, car racing, motorbyke, bicycle, or even to calculate the production times of manufacturing process.
