We know there’s a tape measure nestled in your toolkit or crammed in the back of a junk drawer. Everyone has one because they’re universally useful! Whether you need a tape measure for your job as a seamstress or construction worker, or you just need to know if your couch will fit in your living room, you’ll need a tape measure. Though we humans have been measuring for centuries, the more modern form of the ruler came in 1821 when James Chesterman a craftsman from Sheffield, England, who worked in the fashion business, created long steel tape measures as an accidental byproduct of the metal hoops he made that were inside popular dress skirts...which was later improved upon by Alvin J. Fellows, an inventor from the United States who patented the first spring measuring tape. They were originally made out of steel until 1968 when fiberglass tape measures hit the U.S. market....and now tape measures have gone digital. You can download tape measure apps!
