Each public and deputy weigh master shall procure a seal, at his own expense, which seal shall be round in form not to exceed 1-1/4 inches in diameter of a type similar to a notary public's seal. The seal of a public weigh master shall show his name around the upper half of the dies, and his title around the lower half of the dies. The seal of a deputy weigh master shall have the name of the weigh master who appointed him around the upper half of the dies, with his own name across the center of the dies and his title around the lower half of the dies. Such seal shall be stamped over the weights set forth therein upon each certificate issued by such public weigh master. No deputy weigh master shall use his seal on any weight certificate other than the one of the public weigh master by whom he has been appointed nor shall he be authorized to weigh or issue certificates for any weighing done on any scales other than those the locations of which appear on the license application of the public weigh master appointing him, provided, however, that in a case of an emergency caused by the breaking down or getting out of order of the scale of the public weigh master, he shall, pending the repairing and resealing of such scale, be authorized to weigh on another different scale upon the public weigh master appointing him, assuming responsibility for the accuracy of the scale so used.
