[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 793552, member: 52763"] Boom Tube & Top Gun 30-06 Your are both dead on correct, especially about the remark made, about a break-point from one number to the next on a digital scale. All digital devices that display numbers have this problem. More than once while working in a machine shop over 46 years, I've had to prove this to a number of people during this time, by using a 1/10,000" analog dial indicator & a digital indicator side by side to prove this. It was easily seen by the naysayers who instantly, could no longer argue the point. It always amazes me how often people seem to disbelieve old technology could possibly be superior. I have a Lyman M-5 beam scale made by Ohaus I've used since mid 1969. It's as accurate now as it was then. That's 44 years. Plenty reliable & accurate enough for me. The only thing I've done for maintenance, is to use a small soft brush to insure any dust was cleaned from the knife edges & the v-shape the knife edges pivoted in. [/QUOTE]
