bilateral by J. Maul

This BILATERAL of Jakob Maul is a robust weighing scale. The range of the letter scale shown is 500 grams. The scale has two reading charts. The lower one reaches up to 100 grams, The upper one reaches up to 500 grams. On the lower chart there is a graduation stripe per gram, on the upper chart there is a graduation stripe per 5 grams. The reading charts are concav-shaped. This feature copied of Ph.J. Maul, is given concrete form to in a slightly different way. This letter scale is an ugly combination of rounded and sharp angular patterns. The overall shape-symmetry makes the total image just acceptable again. The name of the model and the logo of Jakob Maul are pressed into a part of the mechanism.
