I am hoping that someone here knows were I might find a Two Hundred Foot engineering tape measure; marked in Decimal Feet; that is only printed on one side. Alternatively I could use a Fifty Meter fiberglass tape measure that is also printed only on one side. The third option would be a Fifty Meter tape that is also marked in Decimal Feet. If that third option were available with both scales on one side only that would be perfect. My intention is to mark the unmarked side of the fiberglass tape measure in kHz/MHz increments in the same way that the tape measures that were part of the AN/GRA-50 adjustable length antenna were marked.

What might work is an "engineers tape" or "surveyors tape", which has
10 divisions per foot. Something like this:

Usually, they're cloth or vinyl, which can be marked on the back.

There's also an "engineers rule", which is marked in 1/16th on one
side, and 1/10th on the other. For example:
