<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1672358, member: 66"]As I said hey took the tolerances very seriously back then. EVERY planchet was weighed to make sure it was within the tolerance range, and the planchets were adjusted by hand with a file if they were overweight. Underweight planchets were supposed to be rejected and sent back for remelting. And they might not have had electronic scales, but they had balances that could do down to a quarter grain (.02 grams) and even more precise balances for serious work. So yes they could hold to a .09 gram tolerance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
