It's a dial to see how much rotations the engine does per minute (U/min =Umdrehungen/min).

BTW, if it's real I would rather try to sell it on Ebay than give it away for free, it's worth a couple of hundred bucks.

I was just thinking, a museum may even be interested in that. Maybe a maritime museum of some sort?
