While I started doing this on my own, Paula has joined me… We now each post a picture every other day (or so). Still we try to keep them current, within the week of posting. Share a shot a day... The goal for anyone here should be to use this opportunity to make improvements in your photography with each daily; that is ours. We are enjoying our time in this community, and appreciate all the comments we are getting. I must say Paula is much better with commenting than I… As this gallery gets larger (older) we will be moving pictures into other galleries as appropriate, please feel free to view our work throughout this site.

Back by popular demand, or at least Joda and Elizabeth…another look at the scale posted 2-2-2010.

This scale as seen in the tag bottom center was originally patented in the late 1800’s by Christian Becker.  In 1943, Christian Becker, Inc. was purchased and became a division of The Torsion Balance Company.  The last scale certification was done to it in 1951, so that puts this scale manufacturing date somewhere in the 1940’s to early ‘50’s.

This shot shows the two chrome balance trays (barely, upper corners), the balance pointers, the balance slider (red bar on the scale near 3 Decigrams) and the slider fork.  The fork was operated from the right side via a thumb screw, is counter balanced to pull it off the slider when you let go, and slides on the rod running thru the center of the shot right to left.  This enabled sliding the slider from outside the glass case.   The entire unit is incased in glass, a glass lid closes over the two trays for accuracy.  The lid was open for this shot, viewed thru top and front glass panels.

My Mom worked at the Rexall corporate office at the time they renovated their labs, she acquired this during the demolition.  I have a small collection of scales; this one and the egg scales already posted are part of it.  You may see more…

An old chemistry scale from the laboratories of the old Rexall Drug Company…  No ground hogs were injured during the taking of this picture, but then, none were involved…
