On Thursday of last week, the Committee on Weights and Measures met to determine the proper calibration methods for scales used in the upcoming Open event. Four scales were tested using the official weights of a cup and a bolt that happened to be laying around (see below)
Cup - Official Weight of 1 lb 2 oz.
Bolt - Official Weight of 2 lb 2 oz.
Four (4) scales were calibrated. Tim and Steve utilized scales from the Invitational event earlier in the year. Tomski used his reverse polish notation scale and Ron brought a fancy Bill Dance model. All scales weighed the same official weights before the committee. The table below shows the comparison of the four scales.
All scales can be used for the Open Event. If others wish to bring in scales for use in the Open event, they can be calibrated against one of these official scales or the 2.2 kilogram weight Tim has located
