Today we are going to look at the pinout for a Sperry Rand Airspeed/Mach Indicator part number 2594621-014. You would, of course, find two of these in the cockpit of the L-1011 with one on the pilot and the other first officer's side. The two A/S indicators would be coupled together as you can see later in the posting.

The airspeed/mach indicator has mechanical elements for airspeed in knots indicated by a pointer, the mach number indicated by a digital readout and a VMO pointer for maximum airspeed. The instrument also a number of flags for Airspeed, Mach and VMO.
Below is the schematic for this instrument and you can see that the data for the instrument would have been provided by the Central Air Data Computer (CADC) via a synchro transmitter.
The pilot and first officer's instruments are able to receive data from each CADC and can be switch from primary CADC to alternate CADC. Below is the schematic showing how the two airspeed/mach indicators are coupled:
Lastly, here is the pinout of the Sperry Rand Airspeed/Mach Indicator:
