Tracking shot is one in which the camera moves forward or backward. In the silent film called Jamai Babu (1931), I have discovered a few seconds in which the camera appears to move backwards very clearly. If you look on the right side you can see more and more of the buildings are seen. I don't believe this has been mentioned before anywhere.

Started October 15, 1936. Triggered by the construction of a Hindu assembly room next to a mosque. Stabbings, arson, and looting. All over on October 22. Troops were called, soldiers patrolled the streets. 
The film still ran but only 2 shows.
