A cloth tape measure.
A tape measure is used in tailoring. A meter with a wheel is used to measure cloth coming off a loom.
A tape measure or measuring tape is a flexible form of ruler. It consists of a ribbon of cloth, plastic, or metal with linear-measure markings, often in both imperial and metric units. Surveyors use tape measures in lengths on the order of hectometres.
