SAMPLE OF NESTED WEIGHTS USED IN CANADA
Function
USED TO BALANCE SMALL QUANTITIES ON A BALANCE SALE TO DETERMINE THE WEIGHT. COULD HAVE BEEN USED AS APOTHECARY WEIGHTS, OR AS TOLERANCE WEIGHTS TO DETERMINE THE TOLERANCE THAT IS ACCEPTABLE WHEN CHECKING THE MASS OF HEAVIER WEIGHTS OR THE TOLERANCE ACCEPTABLE FOR LARGER BALANCES.
Technical
NESTED CUP-WEIGHTS WERE DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE A SMALL COMPACT OBJECT FOR TRAVELLING TRADERS. AS EACH SMALLER WEIGHT COULD BE MADE SO THAT IT FITTED ACURATELY INTO THE LARGER ONE, IT AVOIDED A GREAT DEAL OF UNWANTED WEAR AND TEAR. [REF 1]
