1891 – A new era in weighing techniques

From 1885 onwards, Carl Schenck concentrated his work on his invention, the automatic precision balance for weighing narrow track and suspension track vehicles.

While the minimum load on the balance was permanently counterbalanced on the scales, a single precision balance slide used the maximum load to establish the laden weight of
the vehicle.

This invention was patented in 1891 under the name
of “platform scale with automatic motion precision balance”.
