only one item this week

1397 - weights for beam scales (Fairbanks was a major scale manufacturer)


1397 - The Fairbanks 50lb weight is for testing elevators. This one
I'm sure of, as I remember seeing a truckjload of them once when they
were doing an elevator inspection where I worked, saw them hauling
them in & out.

The rest of them - "damfino"!


The weights are used to calibrate scales. If you ever get to see the
Inspector certify a scale for commercial use you will see them.
