scale with loose pan
For the most part this scale is similar to the scale of Jakob Maul, described earlier at letter scale. The difference is the replacement of the plate with a simple cross shaped support with an aluminum pan on top of this. This letter scale has a fine enamel chart. The cast iron base of the frame bears the JM logo: this is a scale made by Jakob Maul. The vertical standard and the top horizontal girder are folded of tin plate. Both have a characteristic little bend. Most parts are connected by riveting. At some places, for instance the U shaped frame part that supports the main axis, the connections are made by spot welding. The scale has a turn-over counterweight. The ranges are 100 and 500 grams. The 100 grams chart has a stripe per gram, not every unit of tens has
