A weight scale is a scale that weighs commodities and other small items in stores or in your home. The weight scale in history has been the arbiter when someone accuses a merchant of cheating.
Often, throughout history, there have been merchants that have sold wares using a weight scale to determine exactly how much product they would sell for what amount of money. The original weight scale used two baskets hung from the same fulcrum as the weighing device. The merchant kept a standard measure in one basket of the weight scale and used the other basket to measure the commodity.
If a consumer believed the weight scale was wrong, the consumer usually thought it was because the merchant purposefully put too heavy a standard measure in the first basket. If the merchant could disprove this, the consumer might accuse the merchant of weighing down the weight scale with his thumb.
While a weight scale is an important tool in commerce, it is important that the standard measure for a weight scale be uniform from one merchant to the next so that the weight scale does not make you feel cheated.
The best weight scale is one that has a "legal for trade" certificate of conformance issued by the NTEP. Scales that are legal for trade are the most accurate scales and therefore the best for anyone to have.
