Crossword Genius

Weighing device in proportion (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scale

This clue is a double definition.

'weighing device' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'proportion' is the second definition.
(I know that scale is a type of proportion)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for scale that I've seen before include "Hierarchy" , "Horny plate; balance" , "Doh, re, me etc" , "Relative size (of something)" , "Graduated table" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
