One little-known feature on most metal tape measures is a small black diamond that appears every 19.2 inches, known as the 'black truss' markings. This is used to mark out an equal five trusses per standard eight-foot sheet of building material. (8' (96"), divided by 5 is 19.2")
The design on which most modern spring tape measures are built was patented by Alvin Fellows of New Haven, Connecticut on 14 July 1868. According to the text of his patent, Fellows' tape measure was only an improvement on other versions previously designed. The design did not come into wide usage until the early 1940s, when it slowly began to supplant the folding wood carpenter's ruler.
