A method and apparatus for oil and gas well logging is provided wherein a mechanical feeler tool apparatus registers weight changes in a non-electric wireline or slick line that supports the feeler tool and a chart recorder prints a continuous record that can be compared with existing oil well profile information for accurate placement of the downhole tools thereafter, by using the slick line. The method uses a scaled printout wherein weight changes are reflected on the print out at precise elevational positions responsive to weight change information sensed by a load cell.
