Regarding the system om Merchantmen freighters


which gave a readout of the weight and trim using sensors on the wheel oleos.

was this why they stopped EVERY time after a few metres of taxiing ?I recall as a controller these aircraft could always be relied upon to call for taxi ....taxi ,probably no more than 100 yards ....stop ......sit for a few moments ...then proceed as cleared .Were they doing a final "gross error" check?
