Made of a cast iron base with four prong brackets at the end of each arm, this 10 kilogram balance scale from France uses pans that rest in the brackets for calculating weight. The shallow pan's dimensions are 8" x 1.5". The deep pan's dimensions are 8" x 3".
To calculate weight, items were placed in the tall pan. Then standard mass weights were placed in the shallow pan until the needle between the arms reached the middle of the center piece. Perfect equilibrium gave the weight of the items in the tall pan. The accuracy of the scale has not been tested.
