Abstract
A mounting for a measuring head, particularly for a measuring head riding on a moving surface which can undulate or have surface irregularities, comprises a housing having a recess therein encompassing the center of gravity of the measuring head, and a flexible diaphragm extending across the recess. A support rod is attached at one end to the center of the diaphragm. The other end of the support rod can be mounted for sliding in a direction normal to the plane of the diaphragm, with a damper provided to damp such sliding. The rod can be resiliently urged to an initial position.
