When did Benjamin Franklin invent the odometer?
Benjamin Franklin did not invent the odometer, which dates from ancient times. One of the earliest (chariot) odometers may have been designed by Archimedes (287-212 BC) and was described around 27 BC. Some form likely existed before then as indicated by the recording of ground distances during the reign of Alexander the Great (336-323 BC). Chinese scientists independently created a form of odometer around the same time, notably the "drum carriage" later improved by Zhang Heng (87-136 AD) Blaise Pascal designed a geared version for carriages in 1645, and a version was adapted to measure postal routes by Benjamin Franklin in 1775. The modern automobile odometer was designed as a combination speedometer and odometer by brothers Arthur P. Warner and Charles H. Warner in 1903.
