0 the weight of a vehicle or container when empty
1 the weight of a vehicle or container when empty, taken away from the combined weight of the vehicle, etc. plus the goods it is carrying to find the net weight of the goods:
2 the weight of the material in which goods are wrapped, taken away from the total weight of the goods including this material to find the net weight of the goods:
The average yield was approximately 10½ tons—10 tons, 9 cwts, 2 quarters—per acre, the sugar content 17.7 per ton, the tare dirt per cwt.
That one exception was where a tare was being altered.
It does not modify the tare-weighing requirement except for fuel in heavy steel waggons capable of taking loads of up to 24 tons.
We estimate, roughly, that in one million bales of such cotton there could easily be claims for condition, tare, loss in weight, etc.
Are you not forgetting that the tares were burnt?
Since railway wagons carry notices indicating both the tare and the maximum load, could the same be done on road vehicles?
Now, at the moment, there tare only about four or five big engineering firms that can turn out these aero engines.
In one case, for example, the tare weight of a lorry delivering hay had been understated by 6 cwt.
