Now that is a really good idea. My tape does have both scales, but not everyone will have chosen that type of tape marking.

So is this accepted as two proper measurements for IAAF/AIMS international measurement purposes?

If so, would a modification of the principle by taking a camera shot of the reading also be a suitable way recording results without the possibility of error? (One hand holding the camera, the other hand tensioning the tape with a spring scale.)
