The Dillon Mechanical tained and portable tension measuring instrument. Introduced in 1977, the Dynamometer Family Model AP is the most widely used dynamometer in the field today in count- less different applications. The Dillon ProLift mechanical dynamometer supplemented the Dillon Model AP dynamometer in 2001.
