Reliable on-road measurement
Fall 1983, somewhere in northern Finland...
Jouni stops his truck at given address and starts unloading last cargo of this day before starting the weekend and heading off to gather cloudberries. Fifteen minutes later he hops on the drivers seat and grins quickly to the man sitting on passenger's seat.
"Okay, we're done, I'll just quickly calculate the kilometres..."
He digs for a paper notebook from the storage compartment and leafs through it until he finds the last page with markings on it.
"So now the total is that... 'K, and last was, what is that stain..." He writes a few markings down. "Oh, and yesterday it was... Now wait, oh, right, from the gravel pit to Kemppainen, that's about 34 kilometres..."
On passenger's seat Seppo Räsänen quietly watches him and thinks:
"There has to be a better way to do that..."

report on what happened can be found here.
