I am out of town and away from some of my files. Simple summary: I have been following these timers for around 10 years, and no one has been able to establish any connection between the timers and the filming of Le Mans. I have heard several stories -- mounted on McQueen's 917 [obviously false], held by McQueen to time the filming, held by timing to time the cars, etc. Still, no one has been able to produce any photographic evidence of any of this.
I do believe that the timers were at Le Mans, but I am skeptical about any use in the movie or filming.
I will write more later.
