patent log
A patent log is a type of log, or device, used primarily in the past on ships to measure the speed and distance travelled through water. It consists of a mechanism submerged in the water, which through its rotation due to the ship's movement, transmits the data to an indicator usually situated on the bridge of the ship. The name derives from the fact that many different designs of such devices were patented during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
