The deck log (in English “Taffrail Log”) is made up of a counter and its steering wheel, connected by a line to a submerged propeller. The propeller is a metal spindle carrying fins whose speed of rotation is proportional to the speed of the ship Procedure: the propeller is trolled at the end of a braided line (about twice the length of the ship), which transmits all rotation. The movement is regulated by a steering wheel whose inertia ensures regular rotation of the line. The number of laps is recorded by the counter fixed on board and one can read at any time, by difference, the distance traveled since the previous reading.
