I filled out one of those blasted javascript boxes (or perl, or oyster, or whatever) for Taylor USA today, inquiring about metric bath scales. Here's the reply I got and my counter-reply. Fortunately, the reply quoted the contents of that form I filled out. Jim ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: RE: Request Information Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 19:23:38 -0500 From: James R. Frysinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thank you, ....! Hopefully, Taylor will consider starting to include some metric scales in their US distribution. More and more people I know are asking where they can be purchased. I know that some of those electronic scales can be switched, but that Taylor scale with the big white dial would look superb in kilograms! If they were available, I would try to talking our physics department lab manager into buying a few of them for our introductory labs.
