There is a company by the name of OMEGA ENGINEERING, INC. which sells
strain guages which are used in converting weight into voltage using a
bridge circuit. One address for them is ONE OMEGA DRIVE BOX 4047 STAMFORD
CT 06907-0047. If your not in a hurry send me your address and I can have
them send you a full catalog of their devices.
Hope this helps------------------Jay Reinhart
