Climbs on the weighing machine (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scales

I believe this is a double definition.

'climbs' is the first definition.
(scaling is a kind of climbing)

'the weighing machine' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'on' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scales that I've seen before include "Zodiac sign < covering fish" , "Weighing devices or fish flakes" , "Balance - climbs" , "Set of balances" , "They're found on fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
