ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for forming a closely packed monolayer of flexible line for a tape measure includes a drum 2, a main spring for rotating the drum to wind on the line and a line guide comprising pivoted together members 15 and 16. The line guide is moved axially and radially with respect to the drum 2 by the tension in the line 5 acting on the grooved pulleys rotating about pivot points 18 and 19. Tension is maintained in the line adjacent the drum and in the line guide by a brake 8.
