The present invention relates to a method for continuous measurement of the profile of an article driven in linear displacement, characterised in that it consists in directly or indirectly determining the angle of opening of at least one mechanical feeler capable of being oriented by rotation about a fixed articulation axle when a suitable part of this feeler enters into contact with the profile to be measured, the said angle of opening, or a length representing the said angle, making it possible accurately to know the said profile using a simple arithmetic calculation. The invention also relates to a device for continuous determination of the transverse dimensions of an article driven in linear displacement, and more particularly of any cylinder, whether or not having straight generatrix, of the balk (11) type. The invention applies in particular to the field of determining the volume of parallelepipedal or cylindrical articles, in particular wooden articles such as balks or planks used in industrial saw mills. <IMAGE>
