Sikorsky Helicopters fitted speed tape type displays on the S-76C+. Having flown for many years on proper instruments I found great difficulty in using them. Assessment of IAS trend was particularly difficult; the display was tiny and to me, illogical. I was much relieved that they saw sense and went back to "round gauges" on later aircraft, albeit on flat screen glass displays rather than separate gauges.
