[Type] of warp tension meter. Meters for measuring tensions of the magnitude found in trawl warps may be broadly classified into two types: those [that] measure the force required to cause a known deflection of the warp as a known function of warp tension, and those [that] measure the actual tension by assuming the full load themselves. ... almost all [are] mechanical or electrical strain gauge sensors and [have] stress indicators rather than stress recorders.
