True, it says so in the article too.

Well, the procedure is meant to determine the relation between 
revs, final ratio and indicated speed. The tyres of course have 
some (sometimes great) influence on the speed, but the reading 
will be corresponding to the revs.
 
To calibrate and to get a better and more accurate indication of 
the speed, it works. 

My speedo showed more than 20 per cent more, now it's almost 
perfect. Besides, if your girlfriend thinks you drive too fast, 
turn the calibration screw anti-clockwise. :-)

Thanx for youyr comments and Saluti
