Abstract
A balance for a simultaneous differential thermal analysis instrument that combines gravimetric measurements with measurements that require propagation of electrical signals from the sample holder to an apparatus for recording the electrical signals. In one embodiment of the invention, conductive flat planar strip flexure pivots are used in a single-meter movement balance to mechanically and electrically couple the components of the balance mechanism to the apparatus that records the electrical signals.
