Default Pitot tube question

In a tandem cockpit plane, does one pitot tube operate two airspeed
guages?

Should be no problem. I have side by side seating with one pitot
feeding the main airspeed and a backup at the right. Just plumb it
together.

Should be no problem. ASI's are a dead end unit so both will register
the same speed. Since there are two gauges there is a greater volume of
lines and bellows to fill so there will be a slight lag but you probaby
won't ever notice that.
