The use of wagon scales for receiving scales at mills is morecommon than formerly, owing to the greater facility and rapidity in handlinggrain, as well as the less amount of labor required. These scales are madeof different sizes, but with long platform scales (8x22 feet platform) theteam is weighed with the load, and no variation from correct weight can be * Manufactured by Forsyth Scale Co., Chicago. 472 , TESTING, PACKIXG, BRAXDING, ETC. made by the pulling or backing of the team, while the load is being of the levers being hung by clevises from a hook or bolt, fastened tothe bottom of the corner irons, the pivot of the lever rests in a saddle (withsteel facings) which is suspended by two loops, passing up through thecorner iron and hung to a cross-bar ; this cross-bar rests on a friction pointwhich allows the scale platform to swing from this point. The result at-tained by this device is that
