Abstract
This disclosure relates to an apparatus for digitally displaying muscle strength. This apparatus measures the output of a load cell under tension or compression and presents a digital readout of the force applied to the load cell in pounds. This apparatus features among other things an analog output which is linearly related to force in pounds for driving a chart recorder, a digital readout of force in pounds and a memory feature which permits retention of the peak value in pounds as a number readout until such time as the result is cancelled at the press of a button.
