The Neumade Film Measuring Machine is a [[frame counter]] designed to measure film during inspection. The most common model is the M-38-S, which has a single sprocket and measures film in both feet and frames. Neumade also manufactured a variety of other frame counters, including multi-gang models to synchronize film for editing, models that counted sprocket holes in addition to feet and frames, models that only counted footage, and dual-format 35/16 models.

The most common model is the M-38-S, which has a single sprocket and measures film in both feet and frames. Neumade also manufactured a variety of other frame counters, including multi-gang models to synchronize film for editing, models that counted sprocket holes in addition to feet and frames, models that only counted footage, and dual-format 35/16 models.

The standard M-38-S design is a benchtop model intended for use with Neumade rewinds, which have spindles facing away from the operator. The frame counter is attached to a board, which is positioned on the rewind table to align it with the film path.

The machine can also be adapted for use with Kelmar rewind tables, on which the spindles face the operator and the film path is ~~past~~ the edge of the table. In order to position the Neumade film counter in the film path, Kelmar manufactures a mounting bracket to attach the counter to the front of the table. The benchtop design should not be used with a Kelmar table.

The machine can also be adapted for use with [[Kelmar RTV-8900|Kelmar rewind tables]], on which the spindles face the operator and the film path is off the edge of the table. In order to position the Neumade film counter in the film path, Kelmar manufactures a mounting bracket to attach the counter to the front of the table. In addition to correcting the lateral alignment, the bracket also tilts the frame counter back to match the tilt of the Kelmar rewinds. The benchtop design should not be used with a Kelmar table.
