de Zwarte and Differential Weighing
« on: December 24, 2017, 04:23:56 pm »
Here are two papers in Talanta by de Zwarte on his theory that the ancients used a method of high accuracy differential weighing.
The theory is very clever although in the end hardly convincing, but it does make you think, and the papers are full of interesting data and information on the development of the study of ancient metrology.
