This is a photo of a replica of the 1847 pioneer odometer installed on a wagon wheel at the Pioneer Village in Provo, Utah, USA.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The 1847 Pioneer Company that founded the Mormon Trail also created an odometer that was used to create a trail guide for those who would follow on the trail. The original odometer was designed by Orson Pratt and fabricated by Appleton Harmon for use by William Clayton under the direction of Brigham Young. The replica was fabricated by Jeffrey Niven (who also made the wagon wheel) and Joseph Jacobsen. The replica is based on first-hand descriptions in journals as described by Larry Howell in the paper “History of Mechanisms: The Odometer of the Mormon Trail,” DOI:10.1115/DETC2006-99604, Proceedings of IDETC/CIE 2006 and presentation at the 2006 ASME Mechanisms & Robotics Conference, Philadelphia, PA, DETC2006-99604.
