Forgot to mention, you don't have to wait for the balance to stop swinging. Checking for equal swings in each direction is actually a better method. That's what that little scale at the end of the balance arm is for. -----Original Message----- From: pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Breukel, C.
