Innovative Solutions for Hosiery Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION
The HIFOMACO LCS-4800 gauge from Hickory Foundry and Machine Co. Inc. provides precise measurement of length stretch and cross stretch, portability, and low cost into one easy to operate tool. No power or air is required to operate this quality instrument.
To operate, simply attach the garment, release the latch, and read the measurement directly on the mode-selectable digital readout. This latch release takes the operator variability out of the measurement.
