A pedometer or pedometer is a device that counts the number of steps completed. The authorship of the invention is attributed to different people. From the letter of the third US President, Thomas Jefferson, it follows that 200 years ago he developed a mechanical device consisting of a lever, a magnet and hinges, which moved with a movement of the hand as they walked and counted steps. Over the years, the principle of the mechanism changed and began to function by analogy with a mechanical clock. Such a device was popular with the military and athletes.
