Abstract

An apparatus for accurately and conveniently weighing the load carried in a vehicle provides a readout of the weight of the cargo by sensing the relative vertical movement of the load-carrying portion of the vehicle, which is proportional to the weight of the load, and by converting the sensed relative vertical motion to a readout of the weight of the load.
