Excerpt from The American Elevator and Grain Trade, Vol. 40: A Monthly Journal Devoted to the Elevator and Grain Interests; March 15, 1922 In another case, the working parts of a hopper scale were suspended from a frame, standing four feet above the floor and composed of timbers nearly a foot in thickness. All parts of the scale were easily accessible, and had been tested and found okeh by the sealer. Nevertheless, car-loads of grain weighed through these scales would invariably fall short in large amounts. The solution of this was also very simple. It developed that the elevator was equipped with a power loader, and for want of a better place, this loader had been stayed to the heavy frame sup porting the scale. This loader would, of course, be in operation when the elevator man was weighing grain into cars, and as it revolved at a high rate of speed, the consequent vibration prevented the scale from weighing properly. As soon as the loader was stayed to some other part of the build ing, the scale worked perfectly. Of course, when the sealer had been there to test the scale, the loader was not in operation, and the difficulty, therefore, was not in evidence. So, by all means, keep your scales covered up, leveled up, and also use your eyes and a little com mon sense toward discovering the little things which will sometime cause a perfectly good scale to give a bad account of itself.
