toc Read here about a type of scale. The relevance of this "scale" to the broader concern of "scale" as an "order of magnitude" is discussed.

=Overview= A weighing scale is an instrument used to determine the weight or mass of an object

=Usage= The weighing scale is a type of proportional scale, one example of an operational definition of how one scale is mapped onto another scale. The operation of the scale enables transcoding of the resistance of a spring or motion of a balance beam to be converted into calibrated ruler readings at another scale.
