Abstract
A beam weighing scale is provided wherein the index bars of the beam are rotatable so that different types of weight units can be displayed such as ounces and pounds, on the one hand, or grams and kilograms, on the other, or different values of the same weight units, for example, 0.1 pound and 0.25 pound. The sensitivity can also be altered by varying the center of gravity of the index bar and poise assembly.
