Hi Mel,
Of course, Scales are usually imbricate in their array...
'Roots' - wasn't that old Kunte Kinte ( nee LeVar Burton ) ???
I get confused so easily...
I wish I was covered in scales like my Chicken's Legs are...wow that would
be nice...always cool to the touch, just right for slippery, easy to keep
clean ( a damp
Cloth once in a great while would be about it, if that ), really attractive
colors,
and no itching and unsightly livid blotching if I were to roll around in th=
e
Grass naked
like-a-Puppy.
...sigh...
I got a sweet little 1930s Deluxe Model ( has the spirit Level Bull's Eye )
'Pacific' Scale awhile back...sensitive positively ( nods for ten minutes )
to one
'sequin' of Unique.
All my weights are in Grains, plus, I made a few myself for fractional Grai=
n
increments.
I need to get some Weights in Milligrammes, too, for doing various Bird med
things.
If anyone needs a quite sensitive Scale for Measuring rather tiny amounts o=
f
things, old Re-Loading Scales are well worth considering.
Here's a link to a pic of the little sweetie -

in fact a great scale system.
go to my clayart page, see bottom pix.
now that is a great scale.
easy to make, accurate enough to measure gold.
it can go in your pocket, and does not need batteries
or an accuracy stamp from the u.s. department of commerce.
cost: about ten cents/if you use a rock instead of the metal
counter weight...free. a stick and string and a paper plate..
i made a similar one in dubai...and used a variety of sea shells
of various sizes for adding oxides to glazes.
like no 3 shell, four shells of iron ox to five gallons of glaze.
works for me,

I used the same system when I rebuilt VW engines. I hung
pistons from a piece of all-thread to find four pistons that
weighed the same. I learned that from the book "How to Keep
Your Volkswagen Alive."
