Some electricity cables do have a markings at every 1 m distance. Some network cable spools have a start count and a finish length count.  But these do not start from zero but an arbitrary number depending on the spools manufactured on that day. It should be fairly easy with the automated production lines these days.There are hand winders with an attached measurer (The wire or the rope gets pulled between the two wheels of a counter) which reads the length pulled.</blockquote>
