Lufkin Hi-Line 100-foot non-metallic (cloth) tape measure

Description

These tapes were once much beloved by stagehands, because you could attach them to a scenery pipe with masking tape, run it up to the desired height, and then give it a tug to recover it — without any risk of damage to the tape.  I suspect that these days they use laser measuring devices….

Anyway, these are excellent tape measures, much easier to handle and care for than metal tapes of this length.
