Quirk: Centred

.
Scales with a ‘constellation’ that precisely ‘balances at the tone-wheel’s centrepoint’ (i.e. its centre of gravity is located at the exact ‘middle of the clock’: see below). All such scales must also be reflectionally symmetric (essentially, ‘balancing along a centre line’) – although most symmetric scales are not balanced. Also see ‘maximal’ – as well as the ‘balanced centrifuge problem’ faced by lab scientists).
