Howe 1-Liter Grain Scale

This Howe 1-liter grain scale was probably made for the European grain market.

The top line is the bushel weight in liters, the middle line is the weight in liters of the sample, and the bottom line tells the percent of deduction for inert material and moisture. In most grain scales each part was cast.

Howe had a unique construction using four pins to hold the top and bottom of the weight together. The beam was also attached to the hanger with two pins. Not all, but most known Howe scales were made this way.
