"Measuring the Miles" - an ancient odometer. As the operator pulls the wheelbarrow-like machine, each revolution of the large wheel activates a gear mechanism that drops a pebble into the container box. Multiply the number of pebbles by the circumference of the wheel and you know the distance covered.

This machine was fun to operate - in place of course!
