letter scale by Ph.J. MAUL
This QUADRANT letter scale by Ph. J. Maul has a solid cast iron frame. On the back of the black painted cast iron frame is hardly readable the M logo of Philipp Jakob Maul. The bright enamelled chart is fixed onto the frame with two aluminum rivets. The weighing mechanism is mounted at the top in an U shaped part. This U shape is riveted onto the cast iron frame. At the height of the upper fixed pivot the frame has an transit hole. The second fixed pivot is directly fastened into the frame. The mechanism and the plate are of tin with a thin copper colored ornamental protective coating. The lining of this frame is simple and firm. More beautiful designed frames do exist for these types of letter scales. I don't know whether this design is patented. This letter scale has two ranges: 0 till 50 grams and from 0 till 250 grams. To use the higher range
