PROFESSOR RINNER'S CLEARANCE GAUGE MEASURING DEVICE: CONSTRUCTION, PRINCIPLE AND POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS

LICHTRAUMMESSGERAET NACH PROF. RINNER, AUFBAU, PRINZIP UND ANWENDUNGSMOEGLICHKEITEN

The Kassel firm of Breithaupt was commissioned by the DB to develop clearance measuring equipment, and in 1972 designed an instrument which was an extension of the first experimental device based on Rinner's work. The device works with a laser beam, the two halves of which are directed onto a fixed prism and a moving prism, and overlap in front of the lens. The device is used to measure the structure gauge in tunnels, and also to measure clearance (gauge for masts, ramps and roofs). It is 50% more efficient than the present test vehicle. A new improved version of this instrument is being manufactured in series on a production line.
