I think you mean so called "Jones counters" which are used to
measure the length of any road course. I'm not sure but I think their usage
is the standard for all official championships, together with the gauging
procedure.
If I remember right, they provide accuracies up to one meter (when correctly gauged, of course).
Worldwide, there is only one producer in the US.
Sorry, I don't have the reference.
