There are also:
the fluid drachm (= 60 minims = 3.55145 millilitres) - used by apothecaries
the grain = 0.0648 gram
the dram = 27.34 grains = 1.77185 grams, and 16 of these make an ounce,
which is 28.34953 grams
etc.
Have a load of these English measurements in my English dictionary, but
just wonder how you measure 27.34 grains .....
