It goes on the platform hanging below the hanging beam scale....and there's a sliding counter weight that's slid across the beam until it's balanced - usually a small indicator arrow in the middle that points to the middle upwards - where the sliding counter is located corresponds to the measured weight.

The processing and refinement of raw natural rubber is left to the reader....

Maybe I see it.
Tongs hanging from the chain used to pick up the bale which is raised by the guy on the right.
The dressed up dude does the actual weighing.
Close?

Close - not tongs -- those parts that look like tongs actually are attached to a platform that is holding 2 bales. Yes, the suit is working the scale.

Thanks, Rufus.

I had to look several times, but, then I found the counterweight under his hand.

Yup. Used to have one of these beam balances/scales - had a set of 3 counterweights that hooked onto the beam.

Another nice scene to model.
