resistance weight, above referred to as the distinctive feature
of this class of scale, is in these drawings shown indifferently
in either of its two leading known forms—namely, as a heavy
arm pivoted upon and hanging below the spindle, hereinafter
called a deflection weight, and as a weight hanging from a
strap which winds and unwinds upon a disc fixed to the
spindle, hereinafter called a strap weight. My invention
provides an improved construction whereby scales as above
described are rendered more sensitive, and truly and simply
adjustable. My invention further provides improved means
for correcting the lining of the knife-edges, which operation
is of paramount importance in this class of scales, wherein
the scale-beam oscillates through a wide angle. My inven-
tion further provides improved means for applying loose
weights for increasing the weighing-capacity of scales of
this class.
