Well, it shouldn't be to complicated to copy. The drawing says " full size drawing". To get the right size you only have to scale it up till the 1inch of the tapes are 1inch.
I would cut it from a sturdy plastic like a placemat.

Hey,

Idk why i never thought of that lmfao. Have you used it before tho?

I have used something similar with just one tape. It was nice to determin how backwidth, armhole widths and chest width sum up to the chest girth.
But yours has three tapes. I suppose it is used to triangulate the position, widths and depth of the armhole. The pattern draft will obviousley tell you where to use these new measurements.
But I do not understand,why the tapes all start at different points. In my eyes they all should start at the same point, the crossing of scye bottom line and scye front line. Probably the text explains.

I have one of those and another one which is a whole frame. Bought them 2011. They are ultra rare and cost a fortune now.
Tailoring is the love of doing art at OCD level.

What are your experiences?
Did you use them and are they useful devices?
There was a similar  kind of frame metal device for the Lenassi System "Der Reformschneider". Didn't look very handy...
