TAPE MEASURE

Project by Kellie Whitworth

7th hour IED

Tape Measure made by Tool Shop TM, 10' long


The tape measure can be used to aid in finding measures of flat surfaced objects. The flexible tape is labeled with inches all the way up to the measurement of ten feet. The tape is pulled out of the casing manually with a metal tab and will stay stationary when the plastic stopper is pushed down (also manually). Once the tape is out, one can measure any flat surface with a length of less than ten feet by placing the tap end against the tip of the object being measured and placing the tape down along the object until the end is reached and finding the number and line that is closest or on the very end tip of the object being measured.
Those who do house repair or construction, those who build objects or other such activities would need the tape measure to accurately find the dimensions of what they are attempting to measure.
