Platform Scales Used to Measure Honey Production
You could be forgiven for thinking that miners brought canaries into coal mines for a splash of color in an otherwise gray world, or maybe for a bit of song to lighten their days, but, no, that’s not it. Canaries were in the mines to indicate when a potentially lethal (odorless) gas pocket had been

Platform Scales Measure Burn Rate for Efficient Woodstoves
A fireplace can be an emotionally satisfying source of heat. It can also waste a fair amount of heat—sending it right up the chimney. Woodstoves are more efficient, but even they can be a source of significant amounts of air pollution. Modern woodstoves, however, are designed to be both thermally and environmentally efficient. With recirculation

How to Build a Roadside Weigh Station
If you were responsible for enforcing the weight regulations for traffic on public highways, you’d want to set up measurement stations and then spell out requirements for those stations. The Washington State Department of Transportation is in just such a position, which is why they published requirements for installing and maintaining platform scales at their vehicle
