(under subclass 200) Subject matter which includes a movable magnetizable member and a magnetic marking means to form magnetic field marks on the member in the direction of its movement, and wherein the apparatus to sense and indicate the sensing of the magnetic field is responsive to the marks and indicates the sum of the marks as an indication of its length or compares the sensed marks to indicate a deviation of its length between markings.
