The enamelled main dial calibrated from 0 to 100 miles and two subsidiary dials calibrated from 0 to 1000 nautical miles and 0 to 1 mile. 
The metal loop of the recording log would have been connected to the flywheel, so you could see if it was spinning properly.
After the flywheel, the rotor that was towed behind the ship. The revolutions of the rotor registered on the indicator, thus measuring the distance travelled.

Thomas Ferdinand Walker (1837–1921) first patented the Cherub log in 1878. It was one of the first logs in which the recorder was placed on board the ship rather than being incorporated as part of the rotor. The Cherub Mark III series was produced from 1930. 

This item is the 1000 mile version, which is less common than the 500 mile-version. The clockwork had to be lubricated frequently to keep it in good condition. and so it is now.
