Who runs the weighing room?

The Clerk of Scales is the official (under the Racing Secretary's Office) who "runs" the Jockeys Room, weighing the jockeys out before a race and reporting any discrepancies in their weight to the stewards. His job is to make certain the jockeys are at or under the legal weight for that race's (and their mount's) allowance. The Clerk of Scales also notes and reports any changes of jockeys or of silks, and provides the Paymaster of Purses with a list of riding fees due each jockey that day. This is also the official who can be seen in the Winner's Circle after the race, recording the weight of every rider (and his gear) after he or she dismounts, to make certain no "weight was dropped" after the jockey's pre-race weigh-in.

Which is more accurate direct weighing or weighing by difference?

Weighing by difference is generally more accurate than direct weighing because it accounts for any loss of material during the weighing process. Direct weighing can be influenced by factors like measurement errors or environmental conditions, which may affect the accuracy of the result.

Why must the crucible be cold before weighing?

The crucible must be cold before weighing to ensure accurate measurements. If the crucible is hot, it can cause air currents and thermodynamic effects that lead to fluctuations in weight due to convection. Additionally, a hot crucible can cause moisture from the air to condense on its surface, adding extra weight and resulting in an inaccurate reading. Weighing at room temperature ensures that only the mass of the crucible itself is measured.

If you do not cool the heated crucible to near room temperature before weighing?

If you do not cool the heated crucible to near room temperature before weighing, the measurement will be inaccurate due to the buoyancy effect of the air. A hot crucible will displace more air, leading to a lower weight reading than its actual mass. Additionally, the heat may cause moisture from the air to condense in the crucible, further affecting the weight. Accurate measurements require the crucible to be at a stable, known temperature.
