| Abstract: | The short survey covers the development of the balance since its invention in the Neolithic era. Scales have been used most
probably first as tools in trading, but already in Old Egyptian papyrus its use in techniques is documented. Its theory was
cleared by Aristotle and Archimedes and at least at that time it was used as a scientific instrument. Today the balance is
still the most widely used instrument in science and there are still improvements. |
