Sauter precision scale Nr. 1068

This precision scale was made by August Sauter, from Ebingen in Germany. The letter scale can be found as Nr. 1068 in the Sauter catalog of 1951. The equal-armed balance is mounted in an oak box. The lid can be folded up and is fixed in the slot of a screw by the end of a drag arm on the left. The top plate is lacquered black. The white top surface of the lid is made of a translucent plastic. The balance is lifted from the rest position with a rotary knob at the front of the box. On the left and right, the balance has separate round nickel-plated dishes for the weights and the material to be weighed. The weighing capacity is 100 grams and the sensitivity is 10 milligrams. A gold colored ASE logo is stamped on the right side of the front of the box. Under the rotary knob is a metal name plate from August Sauter KG. from Ebingen in Württemberg, with the ASE logo in the middle. (KG is de abbreviation of Kommanditgesellschaft, a limited partnership). A set of weights is a must for using this precision balance in a laboratory or pharmacy. Below the photos of the precision scale

are photos of such a weight set, also from the company August Sauter. The storage box of this weight set has the Sauter nameplate on the lid and the gold-colored ASE logo is also on the front of the box. (With felt-tip pen, the lid of the storage box vaguely says: Eichgewichte, that is German, translated is that calibration weights, or better calibrated weights).
Below are some more images of this Sauter precision scale and a matching set of weights.
