It looks like you are in a cash driven business involving scales. Hmmmmm.

But just to third the test results so far. The US Mint and hence the RipOmeter is a force to be reckoned with. Preglued stacks makes it a LOT easier.

74 nickels at a bit over sea level on planet Earth.

Yes, but we are no longer measuring key switches, but nickels instead. I got them halfway, somehow. And then it is kind of hilarious to see the lab guy being followed by two guys who repeat his measurement with their toys.. to confirm?
