ABSTRACT:
A contour tracing device provides a housing unit which holds a series of parallel probe rods. The rods extend from the housing side walls, and are restrained to sliding, linear motion with respect to the housing. When the ends of the rods are pressed against a surface, they move relative to the housing so as to reflect the surface's contour and maintain their position until manual pressure is again applied. The device may include a lever for locking the rods in a desired configuration, thus preventing the rod positions from being inadvertently altered. The tracing device may include a level indicating device.
