| F. H. Richards - patent attorney
My improved, machine comprises as principal elements thereof a scale-beam, a double chambered oscillating bucket suspended from one end of said beam, a counterpoise or weight supported from or on the opposite end of said beam, a supplemental weight, a discharging hopper above said bucket, a movable receiving-hopper below said bucket, a pair of cutoff valves and devices actuating the same from the scale-beam, and a regulator-valve operatively connected with the movable receiving-hopper. Not all of these elements, however, are necessarily employed in a single machine.
