LETTER BALANCE Meaning and
Definition
-
Letter balance refers to a device or tool used for weighing letters and other small items. It typically consists of a horizontal beam or arm with a pivot point in the center. The beam is often marked with a scale or graduated markings to indicate the weight of the items being measured.
The purpose of a letter balance is to determine the weight of mail or other correspondence, ensuring proper postage is applied. It is commonly used in post offices, mailrooms, and by individuals who frequently send letters or packages. By placing the mail or item on one side of the balance and adjusting the position of weights along the beam on the opposite side, the user can achieve equilibrium and determine the weight.
Letter balances may have different weight capacities, with some designed to measure lightweight items such as letters, while others can handle heavier parcels. They may also include additional features such as a detachable or built-in letter holder or tray to keep the items secure during weighing.
With advancements in technology, traditional mechanical letter balances have been mostly replaced by more modern, electronic scales. These electronic scales offer enhanced accuracy, ease of use, and often come with additional functionalities such as automatic weight conversion and digital displays. However, the term "letter balance" continues to be used to describe both mechanical and electronic devices used for weighing letters and small items accurately.
