This instrument was bought by Dr. Robert Peter from Watkins & Hill, Charing Cross, London, on August 21, 1839. It is listed in Dr. Peter's notes as "Delicate Assay Ballance & Wts." and it cost 16 16 0. A good descriptive catalogue of Watkins & Hill apparatus was used in 1836.
Some of the original weights are still in the drawer. There are small doors at the sides, the front panel can be lifted, and the entire casing can be removed from the balance.Collection
