If you are wondering what a 'Centograph' is...
The "Le Mans" Heuer Centigraph was developed in the 70's in co-operation with the Ferrari racing team, was an electronic timing device composed of a mechanical printer and keyboards equipped with 5 manual push buttons. With the Centigraph, 20 cars can be timed simultaneously. This type of installation was used for timing F1 and endurance races (Monza 1000 km, Vallelunga 6 hours, Sebring 12 hours or the Le Mans 24 Hours races).
Cheers
