Abstract
A platform for a scale is formed by elongate elements rigidly interconnected to provide a platform frame structure having, for example, an H-configuration. The strain gage transducer beams are formed integrally at each end of the elongate elements. Vertical load components are introduced into the transducer beams by suitably locating support feet under the platform frame structure so that the beams may properly flex. Load transfer from an upper platform to the transducer beams is preferably accomplished by ball and socket loading devices provided at each end of the elongate elements forming the frame structure.
