Protecting the housewife. Weights and measures testing department of the LCC

Protecting the housewife. Weights and measures testing department of the LCC. Testing scales and weights. Thousands are brought to this office each year to be tested. Detecting fraudulent weights, filled with cork, and measures with false bottoms. At one of the 6 offices of the weights and measure department of the LCC over 500, 000 glasses are tested by being filled with water in troughs, and the stamp of measure sandblasted on. Thousands of scales, and weights are also tested and stamped, and churns, pails and measures for milk. Inspectors work from the depots and coal offices, with their weighting machines in motor vans, so that the housewives get the quantity of coal they are paying for. 7th July 1932
