ABSTRACT:
A gauge for measuring and recording a child's growth comprises a housing, a ribbon, and a foot plate. One end of the ribbon is attached to a shaft in a housing chamber by a first pin that passes through a ribbon first loop and through the shaft. The other end of the ribbon is secured to the foot plate by a second pin that passes through a ribbon second loop and through the foot plate. The ends of the ribbons are located within respective slots in the shaft and the foot plate. The shaft is journaled at one end in a side wall of the housing and at the other end in a cap that closes the housing chamber. The ribbon passes through a slit in a bottom wall of the housing chamber. The gauge includes a level that assures the housing is horizontal when it is used. The housing and foot plate have peripheries that are coincident when the gauge is in a stored mode.
