of form, and applicability to every purpose for which
Scales of any kind are required; iu ha perfect. sim

important fact, that this wile can be afforde d at a

The invention of the Scales and the

OPINIONS. TIIE PRESS
IMPoI:TANT isvvyrum.—For some five tears past,
Mr. lb M. 1. 4 n9 th, of Pennsylvania, 1 nOw of this State)
an ingenious and scientific mechanic, has crmcentrat
ed Lis mind and means upon an invention at length
perfectly successful, and for which letters patent havO
first been' issued by the GOVertllliellt of the rnited
States. This itaventimr is known as "Anyth's Self-
Acting Ilent-lberer Platform Scale," and as this is
the first public notice of this useful and valuable hie .
prevenient, we shall take the liberty of expressing,
ourselves freely upon. its merits. The platform of the
scale is about 12 by IS inches, and the whole scale
is about S inches high and weighs entire only about
'2.5 pounds; while it has the e‘traordisrary capacitc o
weighing tiny object from one ounce to four huirdtvril
pounds. ' Its form is compact and convenient, and is
applicable to every purpose for which scales of any
kind are required. • Under the platform and attached
to,,the leveragels suspended a weighted arm or pea
drihnn:• To this pendulum is attached an indicator,
which, together with the pendulum, the instant any
object is placed upon the. ‘ platform mores (roan Its
eenrre•of graVity to the point indieatin the exact
weight. The scientific principle upon which it acts
admits of no inaccuracy or change, and a given prey-,
sure or weight opon.the platform must always carry
the weighted arm and indicator to the same point.—
The principle beyond doubt is the correct one, and
that it has been properly applied in this irritancy, the.
lucky inventor has left no room for doribt. Sic scerro
to have attained perfection itself—at least per far as
Platfei'm Sealer; are cocerned, and to hare combined
in a remarkable degree an.Evariable scientific prio
ri*, "known of all wen,'" with compactness, con
venience, strength of form, durability and accuracy.
But the great and important feature in thin Seale la
the beet that beyond all timw merits it poasesseg, the
additional one ut being cheap, and within the reach
of erCry Malty Eve. Jour. o ,l4lm: 28, 1858.
We have examined this tiew Platform Scale and
conenr in all that is said by the lournaL The prin
ciple is at once simple and beautiful, and ensures
perfect accuracy, while the price will be three times
less than of the . scales now tizetl.--.lThany E.rpreis.
Seven's PATENT PLATFORM SCALP.—We have ex=
&mined this new invention. Nothing can boi simpler.
or more completely del doped than the principle 'up
on valich its acts. The platform which sustains the
weight lifts a pendulum, suspended and loaded at the
end, through an arc of a circle; and the indicator
points out, upon the graduated eirettniference, - the
exact weight.. In other platform' scales the measure
of avoirdupois has to be ascertained, by moving a
loose weight on a beam, as on a steelyard, till alum
the precise point. Smyth's invention is a self-work
ing one, and indicates at once. and to the minutest
fraction, the figure. By attaching the weight on the
end of the pendulum, the scale becom e s multiplied
by fives or tens: by releasing 'the weight it gives
ounces instead dr pounds. Fur houu•ehold purposes,
it is as cheap and fall better than steelyards; and is
finding the way to all well regulated kitchens where
the •receipt book, with its .prescriptions.of weights and
proportions, is used—Atlas gad ..Ir,gas.
A 1 . 1 1T6w lona--Itanybody doubts that this is an in
ventive age, they should call and ezamine Smyth's
Self Acting Bent-Lever Platform Scales. For simplic
ity of design, and eccmornv of space, they take prece
dence of any scales that 'Piave yet been invented.--
There is one peculiarity about this scale; it imeses
set very atle'machiner7, snd can never make a mis
take so long as the laws of gravitation continue.
Smyth's scale has another advantage—its small cost.
—lisickerlseker.
SMTTIeR PATTICT PLATFORM SCALR.,TbiI new•and
valuable invention was on exhibition "at our State
Fair just closed. Nothing •in its department receire
more attention or was more generally admired or ap
proved. This settle, poss=essing the: extraordinary
merits conceded to it at the East, cannot but be ex
ceedincly valaable, and must, w•e think, come Into
'general use.
The .4 Man y Evening Journal publiAes the shore,
and adds: This scale (Smyth's) was also exhibited at
the State Fair at Watertown, and not only received
every attention Oren it in Ohio, hut carried off the
first and highest premium awarded—a diploma and
silver medal.—Clmeland (Ohio) JihrrnaL
„
t` SMYTH'S Stf-r-ACTING BEST-urrEit rt.sviouss
Set t.s..."—The fundamental principle of every impor
tant invention has beeit very simple. In its simplici
ty is the elements of its worth, its usefulness and a
daptability. Inventions of complicated most:melttt .
and visionary theories haie never performed the ob
ject sought to be obtained, for with adaptebiDty,
ac
coraer and durabiTtty must he combined cheapness.
All •of ; these desideraturns are invoked in the inven
tion recently patented and known as ” Smyth's Self-
Acting Bent-Lever Platform Scales." • The scalep i.
question,, from its construction on the 'principle
gravitation, is never liable to be out of order. It m at
perforul its work thoroughly,because thelawsof
tare govern it.' In size : the tale is a - pigmy, but for
capacity it is wonderful, weighing any object
tint ounce up to tour hundred pounds . . It can 13 , reg.
Mated by any one who looks M it but for a mgment.
As their cost is but a trifle, they will speedily be as
indispensably necessary in the household calendar as
any other useful article of daily use.-=-Ere.rrasiscript,
berrIPTANY ASO V.Strients 'arra - rms.—Among
others, we have been favored with an examination
of the new and valuable invention (recently patent
ed,) known as Smyth's Self-Acting Bmt-LeverPlat
term Scale." Mr. D. M. Smyth,. the • Ingenious in
ventor, has spent some fire yearn in the •perfectkin
of his work, and that he has attained perfection
there seems but little doubt. This scale is construct
ed upon a scientific principle which knows no varia
tion or change, and hence its accuracy in heyoutt
question. Its capacity and strength is unprecedeut
ed, while its form Med the principle involved. make it
Convenient and applicable to all purposes requiring
scales of any description. It is free from any com
plication liable to variation or to
,get out 'of order.'
The great and important feature, however, of the
scales made under this invention, is the fact that they
can be afforded at about one-fourth the cost of 'any
other platform scale of like capacity and accuracy in
the world. The scale we have seen (a suit of pocket
edition as compared with other platform scales,)
has the wonderful capacity of weighing any object,
from one ounce up to four hundred pounds. Pos
sessing the extraordinary merits and advantages con
ceded to this invention, it cannot beat be exceedingly
valuable, and the smiles made under it, brought as
they will be, within the reach of every busily, must
meet with an unprecedented sale, and come into ire-
Mediate and general use, as well to the benefit of the
public, as to those so fortunate as to secure the ex
clusive right of manufacturing and vending
