totalizers
Devices that accumulate
Totalizers are machines or devices that calculate and display cumulative totals.
The term appears most often in horse racing, where a totalizer (or tote board) tracks betting pools and calculates odds in real time.
In engineering, totalizers measure accumulated quantities like flow volume or energy consumption: The gas meter's totalizer showed we'd used 500 cubic feet this month.
