1. INTRODUCTION
 The MDW-160 & MDW-200 Health and Fitness Scales are mechanical
scales (also known as physicians scales) which can accurately weigh a
person. Models with a ‘B’ suffix are for weighing only. Models with an ‘M’
suffix also include an integrated mechanical height measurement gauge.
 The scales are easy to assemble and simple to use. ‘M’ versions include a
wheel attachment at the base of the scale so they can be moved around
more easily.
 The MDW-160 & MDW-200 scales are widely applicable for use in business,
schools, hospitals, clinics and sports departments.
