Default Rope Tension Meter for Auto Tow

We used an auto tow system for launching Hang Gliders back in the Mid-
West. The vehicle hardware consisted of a small hydraulic cylinder
mounted on the rear bumper and a 5-inch diameter gauge mounted on the
hood with a CB antenna magnetic mount. They were connected with nylon
tubing and poly-flow fittings. We used this system for years without
any problems.
