1. A device for automatically monitoring lengths of strip metal stock to a metal processing machine, comprising:

  • (a) measuring means adapted to generate electrical signals proportional to the actual length of advancement of the stock,(b) measuring means adapted to generate electrical signals proportional to the actual thickness of the strip stock fed, and(c) computing means adapted to count electric pulses received from said length measuring means thereby measuring the length of feed stock actually fed, to convert electric pulses received from said thickness measuring means to measurements of the thickness of feedstock actually fed and also being adapted to store data based on the pre-determined width and density of the stock and determine the weight of stock fed as computed from the width and density data stored and the determined length and thickness of the actual stock fed.
