Добрый день!
Подскажите, как лучше перевести термин "футшток"?
Контекст:
==========================================
Цифры на марке [часовни Даниловского монастыря] означают следующее: 1877 – это, конечно, год установки; 2210 – порядковый номер знака; 7.77 – это самое интересное, это высота прорези в саженях относительно ***футштока***, установленного на урезе Москвы-реки против Даниловского монастыря.
==========================================
Заранее спасибо,
Игорь.

river gauge
i think here it might be just a river gauge (no tide in Moscow), such being easier to visualize; the idea of it being split into feet is rather technical and not of essence here, imho
It would be nice to somehow keep the good old Fußstock in, though

футшток is the general name for this piece of equipment in this context, and so is "river gauge"

definitions of 'tide gauge'
Wikipedia:
"A tide gauge is a device for measuring sea level and detecting tsunamis"
Collins English Dictionary (1991-2003):
tide gauge (Earth Sciences / Physical Geography) = a gauge used to measure extremes or the present level of tidal movement
See the references below
NOAA Tsunami Vocabulary:
Tide Gauge = An instrument that measures the alternate rising and falling of the waters of the ocean, and of bays, rivers, etc., connected therewith. The tide ebbs and flows twice in each lunar day, or the space of a little more than twenty-four hours
