Abstract

A top loading weigh balance is described which comprises a platform supported by a plurality of resilient suspension devices. Each suspension device is associated with a transducer connected in a resonant circuit of an oscillator, the transducers being arranged to vary the output frequency of the oscillator in accordance with the overall change in displacement of the suspension devices, and hence the load.
