[R.H. Lee]

Avoirdupois Units of Mass

[The "grain" is the same in avoirdupois, troy, and apothecaries units of mass.]

27-11/32 grains = 1 dram (dr)
16 drams = 1 ounce (oz)
= 437-1/2 grains
16 ounces = 1 pound (lb)
= 256 drams
= 7000 grains
100 pounds = 1 hundredweight (cwt)7
20 hundredweights = 1 ton
= 2000 pounds7
