Description:

On this installment of "Know your city," Dr. Willis Dunbar interviews E. Frank Woodington, head of the Kalamazoo Division of Weights, Scales, and Measures. Woodington gives a thorough explanation of how his division ensures the accuracy of the 963 scales used by the 410 places of business in Kalamazoo including, filling stations. Woodington also describes the tolerance the division allows for a variety of scale capacities based upon years of use, and tells Dunbar that any scales found to be in error are condemned until they have been re-calibrated and pass inspection.
