Description: |
| J. Fraser & Co., patent attorneys
My invention consists in providing and also in arranging on a weighing-scale four (4) or more beams, and also in their graduations to indicate not only pounds, tons, &c., but also bushels of grains or other commodities, each beam to answer a single or double purpose, as may be desired, and all supported by one fulcrum, and employing but one weighing-rod, and without the use of weights.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
As an improvement in grain-scales, the diagonal arrangement or "spread" above and below the main beam of the series of beams ODE, the beams B C D designating both weight and measure, but of different capacities, and the beam E being the unit-beam thereof, all beams having a common fulcrum, and by the diagonal arrangement exposing their faces simultaneously to view from a common stand-point, as and for the purpose, set forth. |
