Mechanical Hubometer - date of development?

It would improve the article to include the date of the development of the mechanical Hubometer. Also, the later developments are covered but not supported by sources.--TGC55 (talk) 15:20, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As in the piece from the Smithsonian. It was developed by Veeder in 1895 as a bicycle hub counter. The company was formed at the same time. References: ^[1] ^[2]
