ABSTRACT:
An indicator principally for measuring fat depth on animal carcasses includes a base and has a probe extending outwardly from the base. The probe defines at or adjacent its end remote from the base a first reference point and a moveable contact plate provides a second reference point. An indicator is provided to give an indication of the distance between the first and second reference points. An elastic means is provided between the base and the contact plate, the elasticity of the elastic means, which in the preferred form comprises springs, being selected so that in use the contact plate compresses the material, such as the surface of the animal carcass, by a predetermined amount.
