Dick (RIP) was a terrific pilot, much of the design and function of his car brought aircraft thinking with it, hence the redundency of two tachometers. The one on the cowl appears to be an Autometer, the other a Stewart Warner. He even had a gauge that measured the pressure within the cooling system, the idea being to know if there was a head gasket issue or a leak in the system.
