This device was used before GPS to tell speed and distance travelled. They would hang this off of the ship and the Ceramic dial would tell all measurements when they pulled it back in. The ceramic dial has a brass cover that slides over when in use for protection. These worked great unless they were snagged or eaten by sharks. In later years they kept the meter onboard with the missile attached to it on deck. This is early and rare.
Excellent museum quality piece
