AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

So-called harpoon log for measuring the speed of Walker’s London type A2. It was pulled behind the ship by a line, after which it could be read how much distance had been traveled over a certain period.
50 cm long and a fine piece of nautical antique from 1866.
It still turns very smoothly and can also be easily opened and closed.
