Answer 11

In railroading, the pilot is the device mounted at the front of a locomotive to deflect obstacles from the track that might otherwise derail the train.

Archaically this was called a cowcatcher, and this is still the common layman's usage, but this term is deprecated and has not been used by railroad workers for more than a century.

The device itself was invented by Charles Babbage in the 19th century, during his period of working for the British railway.
