In recent days, a delegation of French and German collectors visited Campogalliano to tour the Musee della Bilancia, including its storage facilities. The group included Bernard Garault and René Le Guillou (President and Secretary of the Société Métrique de France, respectively), Claus Borgelt (Editorial Director of the metrology magazine Mass & Gewicht), and Professor Joëlle Garault (Regional Councilor for Hauts-de-France).
The visit provided an opportunity to meet longstanding pen correspondents in person for the first time. The gathering sparked ideas for future collaborations and research on some of the scales in the collection, which will take shape as articles to be published in bulletins by the German and French associations that bring together collectors of scales, weights, and measurements in those countries. Two intense and productive days that promise fruitful outcomes!
