Equilibrium and other society publications:
ISASC publishes a quarterly journal
(Equilibrium, or EQM), which is a mine of information about scales and weights.
Equilibrium is produced to a high standard, with many excellent photographs and
illustrations. Copies of all EQMs are available (some are originals, most are photocopies,
owing to heavy demand).
The society also has a book-list, covering a variety of topics,
