AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jakob Maul Bilateral pendulum scale, designed for precision weighing of mail and small parcels. Unlike standard spring scales, this model utilizes a gravity-based pendulum system, ensuring long-term accuracy and a smooth mechanical motion.
The scale features a dual-tier curved weighing fan with high-contrast black and white measurement increments. The frame is finished in a vintage gold-tone metallic paint, mounted on a heavy, stable grey enamel base.
• Mechanical Design: Features the iconic "Bilateral" logo and a complex, open-frame pendulum mechanism that is as much a work of art as it is a tool.
• Dual-Scale Accuracy: Includes two distinct measurement arcs for different weight ranges:
Top Arc: Graduated up to 1000g.
Bottom Arc: Fine-tuned for smaller increments, graduated up to 250g
Height 21cm
Width 14cm
Depth 9cm
Will be professionally packed to make sure it arrives in good order
• Original Components: Retains the original curved weighing platform and weighted leveling discs.
• Industrial Aesthetic: The exposed brass-colored struts and geometric "X" frame provide a strong mid-century industrial look.
