ABSTRACT:
In connection with a mechanical system comprising a relatively movable part and a relatively stationary part, a tensioned linearly extended tape having precisely spaced openings along its length is attached at its extremities to one of the two mentioned parts. A measuring apparatus including read-out means is attached to the other of the parts in a location which lies in the line of extension of the tape. The tape is caused to pass through the measuring apparatus, where it is retained in a partial wrap-around assembly with a rotatable cylinder having circumferentially distributed surface projections that engage the tape openings. Relative motion of the two parts of the mechanical system effects rotation of the cylinder, which, in turn, causes an indication of the relative motion of the parts to be produced at the read-out point. Means are provided which enable the operator to convert at will from English to metric read-out.
