ABSTRACT:
An odometer i.e. a distance recorder, for a vehicle has a counting mechanism driven by a stepping mechanism which is in turn driven with rotation of a vehicle wheel. The stepping mechanism has a plurality of pawls which reciprocate with wheel rotation and which can advance respective ratchet wheels. For a given vehicle wheel size, one of the pawls is selected to operate its ratchet wheel by a cam means which then disables the or each other pawl from engagement with associated ratchet(s).
