Turning to the reporter he said themachine is so sensitive that it will givethe exact weight of anything from a poundof feathers to a pair of 13-inch guns, anddo it accurately. The capacity of thescales is 150 tons, or double the capacityof the old set, removed when the presentapparatus was installed. A 13-inch gunweighs about fifty-five tons. Two of thesemonster instruments of war, reclining on a48-foot car truck, can be weighed on themachine without taxing its capacity.
