Taff rail log

Ever seen on of these?

Early speedometer. Back in the days of steam ships and later the coal and diesel these were use to calculate the speed of a boat. They hung from the taff rail at the back of the boat.

I picked this up in a box of junk at an auction when a boating supply shop went out of business.
