My fathers '67 Volvo had the same type of speedometer.  The top
edge showed a faster speed than the bottom edge.  He thought that
the top edge (i.e., the higher reading) was the correct reading.
But, then again, Volvo drivers usually aren't the speeding type
(at least, not the four Volvo drivers in my family :-)  ).
