ROPE MEASURER Lengths Are Indicated as Rope Passes Over Wheel A working man has invented a de- vice for measuring rope that might well be 'called automatic, inasmuch as the rope is measured as it passes over a wheel and the lengths instantly registered. This • wheel 1s pivoted within a casing that can be fastened at some convenient place. In the upper portion of the casing is,a spring arm that presses the rope against the MILesnnene 116 IT RUNG, Wheel with just enough force to make It engage the coge and turn the wheel, yet not lorclbly enough to impede the movement of the rope. This wheel is connected n ate d with a registering in g g me chart - ism, and each revolution represents so many inches, or feet, as the case may be, As the rope passes ot therefore, length the h g h is recorded at the same titre. Such a device would be -useful to a hardware store or other places 'where rope is sold.
