WE had the pleasure of witnessing /. few DAYS
w since, an interesting test trial Of various
weighing machines on exhibition at the
crystal Palace. The trial was confined 10 the rcla-
i've merits of fairbanks the Scales Scales man
ufsetured by Duryee Forsyth, RochesterN Y
and newly patented scale manufactured ut Yer.
gennes W. To test the real merit OF the scales the
Committee placed upon the platform Of a scale hsy.
ing the capacity Of six tons, ght If 1913 lbs and
then removed the weight TO various parts Of the plat
form. With this weight on one corner Of the Yer.
gennes Scale, the beam indicated 800 lbs. when
placed on The opposite corner, the beam Indicated
only 3rssI lbs, showing difference of IL lbs and
when removed 10 the centre Of the platform the beam
showed 1857 lbs. request WAS then made thai the
weight IT. again placed the corner first tried
which wss done, and the weight the beam now ind-
Gated was 1852 lbs, showing difference ~ 3 lbs
from the first trial. This variation l. attributable
IN part 10 the arrangement Of the platform upon the
bearing which forbids the possihi lv of ts giving
correct weight agreeing with itself The test was
then applied to kairbank bcale, and when the
weight was placed corner Of the platform the
beam Indicated the true weight, 1898 lbs, n the
second and third corners the resut the same on
me fourth corner slight variation percepgible
NO extremely delicate the operation of Fair
bank Scale, capacity six tons that quarter of q
pound weight placed on any part of the platform
raised the beam
Duryee Forsyth Scale, Of AZ, 900 lbs capacity
was next tested and like the yergennes Scale Il
failed to give correct weight TO sgree with itself
IT showed variation Of ten pounds when the weight
removed from one corner to another One OF
Fairbank + small platform Scales was then tested
with l. ;. Standard weights. and although il Ind
been IN INSTANT use TO SIX months il exhibited un-
erring accuracy. The sealed weights were then Pine
ed on similar scale manufactured by Duryee d
Forsyth, but the result far from satisfactory
one corner was half pound too light, the centre
hall pound too heavy, and another corner I've
pounds too heavy Pennsylvania.
