Abstract: A method of weighing and an apparatus therefor, wherein articles varying in unit weight are continuously weighed by a single weighing machine to classify them into three ranks, one for articles having error weights outside the allowable error limits, another for articles having error weights plus-oriented inside the allowable error limits and the other for articles having error weights minus-oriented inside the allowable error limits, said articles having error weights outside the allowable error limits being rejected, said articles having plus-oriented and minus-oriented error weights inside the allowable error limits being separately pooled and their weights or error weights being allotted to two shift registers and memorized therein in correspondence to the pooling order, and arithmetic operations for combinations of said memorized values are performed to provide a combination of weights equal or most approximate to a predetermined weight. Other merits and details of the construction will be made clear.

Abstract: A weighing method and apparatus is provided wherein an excessive amount or number of objects to be weighed over the predetermined or target weight is distributed among a plurality of weighing machines and weighed with combinations of actually measured values being obtained from the plurality of weighing machines and calculated, and the combination of weights which is equal to or most approximates that of the target or predetermined weight is selected.
