Hey all,
Can someone tell me what tach this is? Smiths I think but it looks different than others I've seen (larger?).
Used in other cars of the day? Where might I find one?

It looks like it could be a Smiths Chronometric.

Another popular tach from the day was:

Thanks Tom!
I was thinking maybe Stack but wasn't sure. It looks like it says "Smiths" when you blow it up but it isn't clear. I'm familiar with Jones and will check them out.

Tom is correct, Smiths Chronometric. It was available in a couple of sizes. Jaeger was anoth Chronometric tach that was used (CSX2431).
