Title: Scales, equal arm
Description: Scales set. This is a set of equal arm beam scales. In the centre is a brass upright stand , which screws into a wooden base. The brass stand has a 'turned' centre and top. It has a curved projecting arm to hold the balance arms via a bracket. The arms have a needle dial at the centre to gauge the weight being measured. The proper left arm holds a rigid shaft which holds a tray support. The proper right arm suspends a weighing tray which is connected to the arms with three chains.
markings:
On the arms reads: "W & T AVERY LTD. MAKERS. BIRMINGHAM: 10 WEIGH-41B"

"If we look to the laws, they afford equal justice to all in their private differences, if a man is able to serve the state, he is not hindered by the obscurity of his condition. The freedom we enjoy in our government extends also to our ordinary life. There, far from exercising a jealous surveillance over each other, we do not feel called upon to be angry with our neighbour for doing what he likes."
-Pericle.
