The 100&amp;#39; are fairly easy to find and also relatively inexpensive, but we will need the 200&amp;#39; to measure our 50 meter pools.  

I have found 200 foot Lufkin&amp;#39;s at the following sites:

Lufkin Yellow-face Steel Tape Measure
LU-Y1278	200&amp;#39; x 1/4&amp;quot; in Inches  $189.19
&lt;a href="http://www.instrumentsales1.com/online-store/scstore/fs-01.htm"&gt;www.instrumentsales1.com/.../fs-01.htm&lt;/a&gt; 


LUFKIN 3/8&amp;quot; X200&amp;#39; STEEL TAPE  $215.00
&lt;a href="http://www.aceenergysupply.com/showdetl.cfm?CATID=2&amp;amp;Product_ID=2796&amp;amp;ObjectGroup_ID=159"&gt;www.aceenergysupply.com/showdetl.cfm&lt;/a&gt;

I also see them on page 33 of the above mentioned Lufkin catalog.  Items 1808 and 1808D will probably serve our purpose.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: 200 Foot Stainless Steel Tape Measure</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/4100?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Oct 2002 15:00:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:72bb7f09-6d3f-4be2-a0d3-73c0bccaa3da</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>I went to the Lufkin site and found a catalog in PDF format. You can find it at &lt;a href="http://www.coopertools.com/catalog/pdffiles/htoolcat/brand%20sections/lufkin.pdf"&gt;www.coopertools.com/.../lufkin.pdf&lt;/a&gt; . 

I&amp;#39;m not asking for USMS to endorse any particular tape but before my LMSC goes out and buys one can someone tell me if this Lufkin
tape would be considered appropriate?

Catalog # C216 
UPC # 037103451606

It&amp;#39;s listed in the catalog with full specifications. This one is 100 feet.  It&amp;#39;s listed on page 15 of the PDF document I reference above.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: 200 Foot Stainless Steel Tape Measure</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/4086?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Oct 2002 09:58:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:02009c44-b8cc-4bd5-ab7c-b46d26ecd291</guid><dc:creator>ljlete</dc:creator><description>I would suggest a Lufkin tape.  They make them up to 100 yards and the accuracy is sufficient for measuring pools (better than 0.005 meters).  They have a web site but they are part of a conglomerate so a Google search of Lufkin Tape will find it.
