[CAUT] tension gauges

[David Skolnik]

Chris -
No argument as to the value of measurements, but I imagine the 
question would be whether both Correx and Neuses would both read the 
same, repeatable measurements.  If the Correx could read fractions of 
a gram, with a digital readout, it would shoot to the top region of 
my list of "to gets" .
