DURABLE SUPPORT FOR SCALES
Substantial Foundation Should Be Provided.
The American Miller describes support for scales, the foundation of which was constructed of bricks with six-by-eight-inch sills on top.
Cement piers were built in the corners as shown in Fig. 1 at AA. They were made one foot high, on which were placed the saucers that hold the balls. The saucers were fastened in the cement as it was about hard, with lag screws, and when the cement was set the saucers were firm and solid.
In Fig. 2 is shown a wooden frame to be placed in a pit as a foundation.
