Ludie letter scale | I do not know where this letter scale was made. It has German text on the dial: Jeder Teilstrich = 2 Gramm. This is probably why the letter scale comes from Germany, Austria or Switzerland. On the bottom are set screws with the name LUDIE on it, I've seen that name once before, look at this page. The location of the zero adjustment screw is special: right transverse to the side of the base plate. By turning, a plate is pushed more or less out of the bottom and the position of the letter scale on that side is changed, see the photos. The letter scale is very sensitive to changes with the adjusting screw. The 250 grams measuring scale has a stripe per two grams. The base is 12.6 x 5.7 centimeters. The scale house is 11.1 x 12.9 x 4.5 cm, the letter platform is 11.1 x 5.4 cm. The scale is 16 cm high. The window of the dial is 6.5 cm round. | back of the letter scale |
