ABSTRACT:
A meter for a motor vehicle includes a meter case4for protecting components of the meter which are incorporated therein, and a front cover9composed of a prism which is a part of a convex lens and provided in front of the meter case4. A dial plate5of the meter has an outer contour in a substantially elliptical shape so that a virtual image of the dial plate as seen through the front cover9may look like a substantially perfect circle. Since the virtual image of the dial plate5is expanded in a vertical direction due to magnification inherent in the prism9, the dial plate5formed in a substantially elliptical shape will be deformed into a substantially perfect circle in sight.
