In this scale the overhang to the track rails brings theimpact of the car entering the scale on the weigh bridge at apoint one-fifth the distance between the end knife edges andthose of the first section next to them. In the earlier scales no overhang was provided for, and thewheel of the oncoming car when going across the gap betweenthe scale rail and the track rail would strike a blow on the weighbridge beyond any support, thus putting the full weight of thewheels on the first section with a leverage increasing the loadconsiderably, and al
