Stabilized-platform weighing scale of novel design. . ade that the stabilizing check will always be under tensile stress,the tape will be taut and the mechanism force-constrained.

General Principles of Design.—The displacement of the loadto be weighed, from the position of minimum stress in the check rodto the position of maximum stress, will have practically no effecton the flexural elasticity of the tape, and the only friction attendantupon the stabilizing device is the very small molecular frictionwhich has usually been termed mechanical hysteresis. As iswell understood, this is very small in amount in the case of moreelastic metals and in scales constructed in the manner illustrated, 14 Technologic Papers of the Bureau of Standards.
