    3. A "pocket stalliard" is a small "steelyard" - a "scales" - a weight measure, with a hook by which it could be suspended in the from anything or held up by hand, another hook from which was hung the object to be weighed, and opposite the object to be weighed was a sliding graduated scale, thus revealing the weight. While I suspect you are not writing the word "camlet" (a costly fabric made of silk and camel hair), I have not seen the word "gamblet" and would appreciate it if you would pass along what others think it means.
