Abstract: A measurement apparatus for measuring levels and plumb of items with offset dimensions comprises a base, a cross member, and a slide bracket. The cross member may have a shaft and a slide. The shaft may be rotatable around the base. The slide may move along on the shaft. The slide bracket may be connected to the base and the shaft. The cross member and the slide bracket may be slidable inside the slot of the base.

Abstract: A pile fabric of stitch bonded construction. A ground yarn is stitchbonded into a substrate to define a ground layer. A pile yarn is stitchbonded into the substrate in combination with the ground yarn. During formation at least a portion of the pile yarns are shifted over sinker fingers between non-adjacent needles such that loops extend in arching relation over at least one intermediate needle line. Once the yarns have been stitchbonded into the substrate, the upstanding loops are subjected to a napping treatment wherein the loops are pulled away from the substrate until broken. An arrangement of split and frayed yarn ends is formed over the ground layer.
