Melius letter scale with two weighing ranges
This letter scale also has the brand name Melius. The letter scale was made by the firm Konrad Burg Apparatebau, from Vienna in Austria. When I do not know. I have not been able to find the patent application. This model has two weighing ranges: optionally 300 grams or 1000 grams, depending on the position of the counterweight. The counterweight is held in the selected position by a tension spring. The 300 grams scale has a stripe per two grams. At the values 5 grams, 15 grams and so on, there is a dot on the scale. The 1000 grams scale has a stripe per ten grams. At the values 50, 150 and so on, there is a dot on the scale. The base of the Melius is aluminum. The movement frame is partly wide double made. There is also a version with a single weighing range of 250 grams, see here. Below some more pictures of this 300g/1000g Austrian letter scale.
