METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING CARCASSES Abstract of the Disclosure According to the disclosure, apparatus for measuring carcasses is provided which includes a first measuring tool for measuring a length and/or circumference of a carcass and producing a signal representative of the measured length and means is coupled to said first tool for receiving said signal and storing a value representing a measured length. A second tool is also provided for measuring the thickness of fat in a carcass and producing another signal representative of the measured thickness, and means is coupled to said second tool for receiving and storing a value representing a measured thickness. In the method of measuring carcasses for grading according to predetermined standards, the process includes producing in the first measuring tool a signal representing a length measurement, continuously receiving said signal, indicating on said tool when the length measurement has been made, storing in response to said indication the signal corresponding to the measured length, and subsequently utilizing the stored signals for evaluating the carcasses. The method also contemplates inserting a second measuring tool into the fat of a carcass to produce a signal representative of the fat thickness, continuously receiving said signal corresponding to the measured thickness, indicating on said second tool when the fat thickness has been measured, storing in response to said indication the signal corresponding to the measured thickness, and utilizing the signal in combination with the measured length for evaluating the carcasses. -1-
