Useful information
I found this “useful information” in the back of an exercise book. My co-worker says, this is like something straight out of “Rick and Morty” and not used by Americans. I pointed out that it says “useful information”.
Just to give you an idea:
20 grains (gr.) = 1 scruple
3 scruples = 1 dram
16 drams = 1 ounce (oz.)
24 grains (gr.) = 1 penny-weight (dwt)
2 barrels = 1 hogshead (had.)
8 quarts = 1 peck (pk.)
4 pecks = 1 bushel (bu.)
1 bu. potatoes = 60 lbs.
1 barrel flour = 196 lbs.
128 cubic feet = 1 cord of wood
24-3/4 cubic feet =1 perch of stone
2000 pounds = 1 ton (T.)
2240 pounds = 1 long ton (L.T.)
