Phototachometer (A hand-held, battery-powered instrument that uses a photosensor to measure and establish the rotational speed of a rotating device or device component (e.g., an electrically-powered motor), avoiding physical contact with the spinning object. The user points the device's photosensor at the rotating object and a reading, typically in revolutions per minute (rpm), will appear on the digital display. The device may be able to convert and display results in other units such as foot/second or inches/second. It will typically be able to store a number of readings within its memory.)
