This mechanical balance scale from the early to mid-20th century is a fine example of analog precision engineering. The instrument consists of an enameled metal base, a brass measuring mechanism, and a double scale for finely weighed measurements. The marking BILATERAL indicates a symmetric balancing system in which the distribution of force on both sides is exactly compensated for a stable and reproducible measurement.

Carefully packed and shipped.
