Weighing machine for infants, England, 1890–1910. This weighing machine measured the weight of babies and infants. The child was placed in the wicker basket. Weights were added to the pan to make the balance level. The weights pictured here range from 2lb (just under 1kg) to 14lb (approximately 65kg). Babies are usually weighed regularly after they are born to monitor their growth. Measurement. Contributors: Science Museum, London. Work ID: xgdhg4uq.
