A cracked speedometer with a faded MPH scale and a film of moss across its glass makes an unusual subject in a gallery of tractors, since the instrument is the focus rather than the machine it once served. The dial's numbers still read in miles per hour, a reminder that farm equipment of the early and mid twentieth century often carried road-style gauges when it was driven between fields and highways. Left outdoors long enough, the glass lets damp and organic growth settle into the gaps, which slowly erases the markings. Worth noticing is how the crack and the green growth together record years of weather that the dial itself no longer shows.
