English translation:Obtain sample measures
Explanation:
It would seem that "A dial indicator was used to obtain sample measures" is the most likely translation. I would suggest that "obtain sample measures" is more appropriate than "measure samples" or "samples were measured", as samples are the the result, not the object, of measurement.

disagree  Phil Hand: How are samples the result of measurement? A sample is a thing, a small object plucked out of a big production run, and measured with a tool... Puzzled by what you're trying to get at
