An accelerometer designed for use in vehicles, for the purpose of giving the users quantified information about the weight transfer between the vehicle's wheels. Preferably a mechanical device in which one or more weights (9) are able to slide, roll or pivot with the minimum of friction against one or more springs (15) and which may present information about the displacement of the spring(s) (15) to the users by way of a pointer against a dial scale. The weight(s) (9) should have dead stops at their resting positions to prevent them from conserving momentum. The unit may provide a self-levelling system in a gimbal mounting arrangement. It may also provide a high point marker (17, fig.14) to record the highest acceleration forces experienced. |
