Probably cures leprosy too.

I haven't gotten a chance to get a look at one of these scales in a 
spreadsheet. I don't know anyone who owns one who would suffer me taking 
the measurements, and I am certainly curious. Has anyone out there measured 
an Imperial German Scale that you'd care to share in contribution to my 
education?
