Senkel = plumb bob - Meter = meter or meter stick- Messband = surveyor's tape Explanation: "Senkel" is the short form for "Senkblei", which is easy to understand as a piece of lead on a string. "Meter" here is not the measurement but the measuring instrument. As this guy was a peon at the time, it was probably not a gas meter but more likely a yard stick. My guess is that a "Messband" is much, much longer than a "Maßband" = measuring tape. |
