My dad was in the US Corps of Engineers under General Patton in WWII. He has described to me an odograph used in mapping out roads that weren't on maps. He said that, in driving over foreign terrain, when they came upon a road not on the map, they would drive the vehicle on the unmapped road, and the odograph would record the road on the map, curves, turns, and all.
