Beam scaleDescription
Scales used for weighing medications were first seen in Egypt in about 1500 B.C. and by the nineteenth century, those found in apothecary shops were often quite large and ornate. Physicians, however, frequently carried small sets of scales to individually measure medications in their offices or at the bedside. This is a large British beam scale (ca. 1880) by W. and T. Avery.Dimensions
