Toronto. Are you aware that Leitz once offered a tape measure as an accessory? The company actually offered a few differing only in the type of attachment arm. The tape was black with chrome markings – extending for 1-1/2 metres and marked in mm on one side and 1/16th inch on the other.
I didn’t record when or where the measure shown was acquired. Nor the actual cable code used (STAMA? STUOO? TUSOO?) depending on the arm. The black crackle arm and nickel frame holding a chrome tape casing is unsigned but obviously a Leitz product.
Used with the various copy arms/stands, I imagine it became superfluous when the various focussing slides came to market. And thanks to Bill Shakespeare for the title of this post.
