PURPOSE:To permit the easy insertion of measuring elements into the engaging grooves of a disk with a fingertip touch operation by providing a pusher mechanism for the measuring element at an insertion port. CONSTITUTION:The operator draws out first a movable base plate 24 in order to insert the measuring element 11 by the pusher mechanism 23. The operator imposes the element 11 on the plate 24 between the top end of a pusher plate 25 and the side wall of a body 1 in succession thereto and pushes the plate 24 then the plate 25 against a spring. The element 11 on the plate 24 is then correctly inserted with a fingertip touch into a constant temp. plate 2 and the engaging groove 10 at the peripheral edge of the disk 5 positioned in sliding contact with or proximity to said plate. The plate 25 is returned by the spring when the pushing force is repeated and thereafter the disk 5 is rotated by one pitch and the operation similar to the above-mentioned operation is repeated. The elements 11 are thus successively inserted through the insertion port 22.
