    Wile there is some proof here - A weight comparison of 25 pounds would absorb the 1 pound accuracy . As a scrapper for years I have sensitivity of touch
    (and I think I am not alone on this ) the 55% batch felt heaver in my hand I made the batch very haphazard meaning yes each batch of 55% was the same and each 30% was the same , but the chances of the 55% & 30% weighing the same ? - - I wish I weighed it first cause it might of been an even more interesting discovery
    I am inclined to think that 1.6 or 1.8 might weigh as a pound - in a year the metal shop scale weighing Cu Al Brass etc. with a .06 discrepancy per weighing towards scrap yards favor could be like getting 22,000 pounds of free metal ( even more ) They cant have scale calibrated to have a loss of 22,000 pounds a year .
    Today I was paid $135 for CU AL Brass Batteries Steel - I'm just glad the scrap yards are here for us .

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
