General Notes

Note

Notes: Needs to be cleaned/dusted. Scale was used in the development and production labs for many years until its was replaced by a more electronic way of measuring dye stuffs. Kay Stephenson-Wrack was a stylist in charge of design at Peeter's Carpets and used the scale. Status: OK Status By: Murray, Pam Status Date: 2010-05-15
