bearing mechanism that assures perfect
ease and smoothness of operation. Just a
detail or two gives you an idea of the
splendid workmanship that went in to it.
Take the pivot points, loops and hangars.
These parts help make for accurate weigh­
ing as long as they keep a keen edge. But
once they grown blunt, they are next to
useless. To avoid this, the pivot points in

the “Featuristic” are hand milled and case
hardened tool steel. Moreover, they are so
adjusted that if one edge should happen
to get a bit blunt through long use, the
point can easily be turned another one of
its four edges.
Another one of many features o f the
** Featuristic” that proves it is made for
the operators’ profit is the fact that it has
a patented lever escapement. This means
that one person— and only one— can be
weighed for a penny. And the penny can
be put in before or after getting on! But
after the person is weighed, another penny
must be put in before weight is given.

She (wearily)—Yes, It’s truly an
awful thing to be loved by you.
And the “Featuristic” has a coin chute
every operator will like. It will not clog!
Soda straws, hair pins, or other trash that
is often wadded into the coin chute can be
quickly and completely removed. All the
operator needs to do is pull small

plunger which is on the back of the scale,
and everything—trash, money and all—
empties into the cash box. Thus, the coin
chute is left free for further operation.
Once in a while when the operator has
to look at the mechanism, he just takes
off a back door, and the whole mechanism
is in full view!
This and other features make it possible
for the operator to be free from care
and have time to develop a bigger
business and make greater profits. And
the operator will find it easy to get good
locations for the “Featuristic.” Its two-
tone color finish and general appearance

pendable strength o f a little giant.
