<p>An extendable leg assembly (8;30) for a measuring machine, such as a co-ordinate measuring machine, is described. The extendable leg assembly (8;30) has a first end and a second end and comprises a metrology structure for measuring the separation between the first end and the second end. The metrology structure is substantially mechanically isolated from the load carrying path and may comprise one or more elongate metrology members (44,46;76,78) having a low coefficient of thermal expansion. The extendable leg assembly (8;30) may be attached to one or more platforms (4,6;36,38) by a pivot joint.
