I work for a spring manufacturer and the tape is actually a spring. Due to the curve it always wants to return to the coil. The same type of spring is used in modern windows in lieu of the old counter balance weights. Thanks for sharing!
I believe that the curve is to help keep the tape flat as you pay it out. The wider the curved tape,the further you can pay it out without the tape bending in half. I dont believe it has anything to do with the tape returning..IMHO
Thank you so much. This helped me a lot. I was using my parents tape measure to measure something really long and I wasn’t paying attention pulled it out too far and it was stuck, but the Internet got cut out so I couldn’t fix it until now. I’m going to subscribe and like your video.😊
I'll hit the like button anyway, even if it doesn't work on my Swiss 25-footer. But I'm glad I found this video and I'm going to give this a try... here goes! 📏
