Paper tape: Early Taiwan Metrological Tools

Unrolling the tape, one can see the images of five major metrological tools used in the periods before and after the retrocession of Taiwan, appearing in sequence on the paper tape.  Those tools are commonly used: steelyard, counter scale, standard counter weight, equal-armed scale and the duplicate of prototype kilogram (a calibrator).  The statutory metrological unit, the centimeter, is marked on the lower part of the tape.  The tool images repeat every 30 centimeters on the measuring tape.
