Given recent questions about speedo cables, this might be a good time for
this question:

While I've been waiting for the cash to get my speedo calibrated (it reads
increasingly high as speed increases), I've noticed that my odometer reads
correctly.  I.e. the speed is off, but the mileage--as far as I can
tell--is right on.  This seems strange; doesn't the same mechanism control
both?  I was under the impression that if one went, the whole unit was
disfunctional.  Is calibration still the answer, or are a new speedo/cable
in order?
