Unique precision scales of the Company E.Mettler from Switzerland. In 1945, Dr. Erhard Mettler, a Swiss engineer, started a precision mechanics company in Küsnacht, Switzerland. He invented the substitution principle with a single-pan balance, capable of being produced in series. Analytical balances with a single weighing pan gradually replaced conventional two-pan balances in the laboratory. Mettler diversified its product line in 1970 with the introduction of its automated titration systems, and the acquisition of balance manufacturer Microwa AG. Mettler acquired its 500-employee competitor August Sauter Ebingen Albstadt-KG, or, Germany, in 1971, for its specialized industrial and retail scales. ª source wikipedia) On the photos it’s clear to see that this is a precision device, with high accuracy.
