ABSTRACT:
A tension measuring apparatus measures the tension in a tow band being advanced under tension. The apparatus includes a sensing roll which is carried by a pair of torsion bars which carry strain gages. The apparatus occupies little space while defining relatively long moment arms for the torsion bars, so as to be highly sensitive, yet compact in design. The sensing roll can be swung between operative and inoperative positions.
