ABSTRACT:
A measuring device to measure a figure in which a measuring lever is pivotally attached to a carriage supported on a pair of wheels for reciprocal movement. A locking device pivotally mounted on the carriage prevents movement of the measuring lever. Release of the locking device resets data processing counters in the carriage to zero in preparation for a measurement. Measurements are performed by tracing a figure with a tracing device on an outboard end of said measuring lever which sends signals through a computer processor to a counter. A switch on the outboard end of the measuring lever allows measurements to be held.
