Scalable measuring apparatus and displacement display device, system and method

摘要

Scalable measuring apparatus for use by an operator with a laser beam from a laser-level transmitter comprising a vertically disposed grade pole having lower and upper extremities. A laser-level receiver is provided for detecting the laser level beam. A controller is mounted on the grade pole and carries the laser-level receiver. At least a portion of the controller is capable of ascending and descending the grade pole. An indicator is electrically coupled to the laser-level receiver for giving a response perceptible to the operator when the laser beam is detected by the laser-level receiver. The controller has a brake for retaining the controller at a predetermined elevation with respect to the grade pole. The controller is capable of ascending and descending the grade pole which is free of markings.
