Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Specifications | | German term or phrase: "genau zum" | I'm having difficulty understanding this sentence.
The sentences above describe the display and accuracy etc. of various indicators on an instrument cluster. Then:
"Der Unterflurzeiger ist sichtbar genau zum Geschwindigkeitsmesser auszuführen"
I'm not quite sure what "genau zum" means - right next to??? - just like???
Thanks in advance |

The German sentence is anything but good (sounds like technician / engineering speak). |

| just like / as per
Explanation:
I think what they are trying to say is: "The flush mounted pointer/indicator is to be fitted visually just like/as per the speedometer" or words to that effect! Could they be talking about a rev counter, perchance?
