Indicia-coded spacing guide line and corresponding method

Abstract

A spacing guide line apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a strand of spacing guide line that includes two or more indicia-coded segments. The indicia-coded segments have different visual indicia from the corresponding base segments disposed between each consecutive pair of the indicia-coded segments. A length of each of the indica-coded segments and a length of each of the corresponding base segments has a same value. A plurality of boundaries between the one or more indicia-coded segments and the one or more corresponding base segments provide a visual indication of a plurality of incrementally spaced locations along the spacing guide line that are spaced apart by a spacing having a value equal to the same value of the length of each indicia-coded segment and the length of each corresponding base segment. A method is also disclosed for installing parts at set intervals using the spacing guide line apparatus.
