or, more formally, "the balance must be tared" Explanation: In laboratory usage, "balance" (as in "analytical balance") is more common than "scale," which usually refers to proportions and sizes. PS to Jenette -- the Routledge technical dictionaries are notoriously unreliable. However, the French-to-English _Dictionnaire general de la technique industrielle_ by Dr. Eng. Richard Ernst (Brandstetter Verlag, ISBN No. 3-87097-110-X) is superb. Cheers, HC |
