Abstract: | The earliest developments in the use of electrical strain gauges as a means of quantifying the measurement of stress in materials are recalled by the author, whose own involvement was associated with the early developments in the mechanised production of strain gauges. The manufacture of batch quantitities is vividly recounted following the realisation that strain gauges would lend themselves to commercial exploitation. |
