paper scale, maker Ph.J. Maul

This paper scale was made by Philipp Jakob Maul uit Hamburg Germany. The chart with a range of 200 grams per square meter has a stripe of measure for every gram. The correct values are only indicated when using a test paper of 10 by 10 centimeters.
A test paper of the quality 200 g/m2 with an area of 10 x 10 cm = 0.01 m2 weighs 2.00 grams. This paper scale with this subdivision on the chart actually has a stripe of measure per 0.01 gram.
The set of cutting templates that was included in this paper scale, is missing here. This paper scale is already in the catalog from the year 1909. Below some more detailed images of this paper scale which is 39 centimeters high.
