Ok, this isn't something I've seen, but I'm not ready to assume that it's because it doesn't exist. But, does anyone manufacture counting devices for presses, such that it keeps a running count of the number of times you cycle the handle, throughout the life of the machine? I come from the world of tractors, and I'm used to hour meters, so I'm wondering if a comparable concept exists in the world of reloading presses.

Yes, I realize there are countless ways to track things, but this is more a question of curiosity than it is of planned usage or implementation.
