Abstract

A device for reading contours, as of eyeglass frames, comprises a feeler adapted to be applied to an article in order to read its contour. A carriage supports the feeler and is movable to-and-fro on a guide. A drive motor moves the carriage on the guide. A floating mounting is disposed between the feeler and the drive motor.
