Gears on the wagon wheels measured mileage. See Deseret News, July 23, 2006. There is an article and a picture of a replica odometer of the wagon train era. Tad Welch is the author of the article. Very interesting read. A covered wagon moved along at 2 miles per hour according to the wagon wheel odometer.
