[T3] tach reading/RPM question


Hey all.

Tried to submit this the other day, it didn't seem to show up.  So here I am 
trying again.
I got a general knowledge sorta question here,  regarding engine RPM:
A tach gives a reading based on pulses thru an SP wire... "But", I say to 
myself, "the plug only fires every OTHER revolution."
So is my tach telling me distributor RPM, and the crank is spinning twice as 
fast?  
Or is the tach smart enough to divide by 2, thus telling me how fast my 
actual reciprocating mass is actually reciprocating?

Wonder why I've never thought about this before...
