The Yamato Scale
Is of a type known as a combination weigher. Think of a dollar. Using coins there are many combinations of nickels, dimes and quarters one could use to make up a dollar.
The Yamato scale has 8 pairs of memory buckets arranged in a radial array around a central discharge point.
If the target weight for the bag is lets say 100 grams. A computer algorithm will scan the buckets to see which three have the contents that adds up 100 grams and drop those together.
There are 8 Weigh buckets at the top. They trap the product and weigh it.

Whenever any of the 2 memory buckets below each weigh bucket empty out a call is made to the weigh bucket for more
product. No matter what weight is in the weigh bucket at the time the call is made it gets dumped into the
memory bucket that made the call. However, a split second before it dumps a computer records the weight in the weigh bucket and assigns this
value to the receiving memorory bucket.
This why they are called memory buckets, what is known weight of the contents only exists in the computers memory and the weight algrorithim scans these memory values for the simultaneous discharge to the package below.
