A Logbook is a book for recording readings from the log. The log was (maybe it is still) used to determine the distance a ship traveled within a certain amount of time. The readings of the log have been recorded in equal times to give the distance traveled with respect to a given start position. Today logbooks are still widely used for e.g. complex machines like nuclear plants or particle accelerators where one is more and more using a computer based version of a logbook called electronic logbook (see Electronic logbook). In military terms, a logbook is a series of official and legally binding documents. Each document (usually arranged by date) is marked with the time of an event or action of significance.
Alternative connotation A Logbook is also a colloquial term for the V5 (now V5C) car registration document in the UK. | ||||||||
