I saw something like this in 1975. It used an array of photo sensors. Then a matrix of rubber tipped solenoid fingers pressed buttons on a printing calculator for a permanent record.

Because some leatherworkers rely on exact measurements, rather than averages. If I purchase what I 'think' is 12 iron outsole leather (irons are an old form of thickness measurement) that's what I need - not an averaged hide that might only be 11 irons in most places.

Because hides aren't made up of squares. This machine is meant to measure the area of a very irregular shape, such as a cowhide. There are certainly other ways to do this but what's easier than just putting it through a machine.

leather tends to vary in thickness and density quite a bit. given that it is sold by the square foot an outlier batch could be wildly expensive for someone.

It is certainly a clever and interesting machine but why not weigh a few rectangular hides of known surface area, average their area-to-weight ratios to reveal a reasonable coefficient value, then simply weigh hides in future to work out their area using the coefficient?

Good question. One could come up with possible reasons against your idea, but are they actually good reasons not to use your idea? Perhaps the reason is that the method reduces risk of making a mistake. You can't screw up this method unless you read the number wrong. Other methods have multiple points of possible human error or algorithm error.
