screw log
A screw log is a device used in maritime navigation to measure the speed of a water vessel. It consists of a screw or rotor attached to a long line with a recording device, known as a log, at the other end. The screw is dropped into the water and as the ship moves, the screw spins in the water, this motion is transferred to the log which then calculates the speed of the vessel. This method was used before the advent of more modern and accurate speed measuring instruments.
