Title: Vertical scale take up mechanism

Abstract: A vertical scale indicator has an index movable relative to a scale for indicating a condition sensed by a signal condition device. The index is supported on a flexible band wound on two drums. One drum is driven directly by a servomotor responsive to signals from the signal condition device and the other drum is driven by the servomotor through spring means for providing relative rotation between the drums to accommodate rotation of the drums through different angles in accordance with the amounts of tape wound on the drums.
