Abstract: A rotor module (2) for a shapemeter comprising a central arbor (7) to a non-rotatable ring (10) surrounding the arbor (7) by at least one web (9) and an outer cylinder (12) rotatable on bearings (13) on the ring (10) and means, (16, 17) carried by the arbor (7) to cooperate with the inner surface of the ring (10) to detect relative movements between the arbor and ring in response to a force applied to the cylinder (12) at a pre-determined position in order to provide output signals representative of such movements.
