So one side does have a magnet and the other side a groove as if for an o-ring or round belt. The later side is chewed up (thanks to omitted spacer under locknut) so perhaps it also housed a magnet originally? These little buggers are latched on tightly, too.

Huret Multito driver
This is the driver for a 1980's vintage Huret Multito mechanical odometer.
Proper mount would include 3 flat aluminum straps,fitted through the visible slots, and wrapped around spokes.
The belt is a basically an O ring and the head had two pulleys, one for 700c and one for 27" wheels.
Getting to be somewhat rare.

Very cool.
I have a digital Huret speedometer that bolts right to the R fork. Pretty neat gadget, and it still works.
The bike gadgetry of that era was pretty cool. Inventors sure didn't give up on trying to find the next great one.

I have one of those still mounted to my '84 Pug ( bought it new) and it still works--34 years later.
Chriscraft--mine is set for 27" wheels. I'll check when I get home and confirm which diameter groove the belt fits for 27". Also, mine attaches to the axle, not the fork.

The aluminum straps were only needed for mounting where the built-in clips won't fit the hub flange.

Larger groove = 27", fewer turns per mile.
Or maybe it's the other way around.

Those are the bike equivalent of a rotary phone.

By coincidence another recently acquired bike had Cateye CC-1000 disc and cable attached. Couldn't be much newer than the Huret (maybe equivalent of touch tone phone? ^^ ).
