ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for measuring the tension on a cable. A strain bridge with connective end sections and a central flexible web section is clamped to the cable. Any increase in the tension on the cable causes the end sections to separate slightly, elongating the web section. Attached to the web section are strain gauges, which detect the elongation of the web section. An electronic circuit receives the output of the strain gauge and produces an indication of the desired tension.
