NOTHING PARTS very best steel parts or agate ERRORS A direct second glance at the indicated postage amount (always in front of the operator) while affixing the postage stamps on the package resting on the scale is very convenient and creates a double-check against postage IRON 9. ELIMINATE ACCURACY The Triner indicator will instantly show which parcels are over or under any pound postage division—just as it does at the postoffice — without necessarily centering package on the platform. 4.

WASTE Parcel Post is specified by the customer when it is cheaper. This method of shipping is constantly increasing in volume, with a corresponding increase in postage waste from 1 to 50 cents on many packages, however. This waste, due to faulty scale equipment, is no longer tolerated by thousands of Triner users. 12. BE SURE Your Parcels are rechecked on Triner Scales at the postoffice. You can't logically do better than use the same type Triner automatic scale and get on an even basis with the postoffice. |
