How is the screen behind the wheel supposed to work? What is it indicating, and (more importantly) does it require me to follow the individual lines? Because that would be great to do when you're going 100 kph
the gauge cluster here shows the gear selection on the bottom left, tachometer to the right of that ("10" for 1000 rpm), and the speed in kph on the right. weird no doubt but it looks like there's digital readouts on top for the RPM and speed so you can ignore the curving lines gauge things

This is from an actual Lancia production car from the 90s (the Dedra with a optoelectronics dash).
I imagine when the car is running, only one of the lights in that wonderful mess is lit up at once. One for engine speed, the other for road speed.
