The patent application describes a portable apparatus for use in measuring vertical deviation of the surface of a rail from a reference plane. The measuring device includes a pair of guide beams and a hand-powered carriage which move along the beams. A sensor, which follows undulations resulting from rail wear, is mounted on the carriage and is coupled to the pen of a recorder.
