I think a flash animation would be verry good here, the photo you showed from the manual demonstrates that.
It is impossible for anyone new to aviation to remember more than 3 things from the photo with 15 numbers on em, it really would help if the location of the instrument and the interesting range is pointed out in animations, like show green/yellow/red overlays for hard to handle speed and impossible to fly at speed animated needls, black out demonstration etc.
