[Vwdiesel] Anyone know how to use the VW210 TB tension gauge?

[The President]

Just looked  at your pics. This gauge works the same as a micrometer. The 
black scale is 1/10ths of the white scale and so you can ignore them. or aim 
for your own satisfaction for the zero. The scale is probably some unknown 
unit only known to VW. Maybe  0 to 50 'Hitlers' When the belt is put through 
the 'fingers' and the diminishing scale is adjusted the tension on the belt 
prevents the closing of the instrument which has a slip wratchet just the 
same as a micrometer... Sloppy belt gives you 2 0r 3 Hitlers and a belt that 
is undeflectable gives you 50 Hitlers....
