In the same way that pants or trousers are singular, yeah. It’s really a pair of pants, trousers or scales. With all these things you need two to make them work.

Near the ACME anvils, of course! https://archive.org/details/catalogueno11200sear/page/528

Such an amazing catalog, I could spend many hours paging through it.
