(Druckwage nach Stratton.)
Description: This device has the advantage that pressure is
measured without speeding the movement of the weights, thus
confounding the measurement of pressure and velocity of
application of the pressure. This is accomplished through a two
compensating levers. This is a high quality scale, since the
balance point is placed on a knife-edge (Schneiden, a
scale pointer for demonstrating the equivalence of the two
weights, an upholstered arm holder, and a set of weights that
ranges from 0.5 to 200 g. (Expanded caption Copyright 1998,
