ABSTRACT:
A device for measuring a person's quickness comprising a stopwatch, a measured length of cord, and a pair of tags. Each of the tags has a clip at one end for securing the tag to the clothing of a person whose quickness is to be measured. One tag is connected to one end of the cord by a Velcro type separable fastener, the other tag is connected by a Velcro type separable fastener to a pull strap which actuates the stopwatch to start and stop the stopwatch upon successive pulls of the pull strap. The other end of the cord is also connected to the pull strap. When the stopwatch is held at a starting position and the person being tested leaves the starting position, the tag connected to the pull strap actuates the stopwatch to turn it on and then separates from the pull strap. When the person has run a predetermined distance equal to the length of the cord, the cord pulls the pull strap to stop the stopwatch and then is separated from the tag attaching the cord to the person's clothing. The time displayed on the stopwatch between starting and stopping is an indication of the person's quickness.
