Can you provide links regarding the History of the Tape measure?

Question

I already have
http://www.todayinsci.com/cgi-bin/indexpage.pl?http://www.todayinsci.com/F/Fellows_Alvin/FellowsTapeMeasurePatent.htm

And the wic-o-pedia http that led me to the above patent application by Alvin J. Fellows in 1868.

Specifically links about prior models of spring loaded tape measures.

Thanks
