Thanks for that Carol. Admittedly I hadn’t seen those few pages so... oops ;-). See ... it just goes to show how comprehensive the book is!!!

I do have access to all those resources and conversions but for others who may not be as familiar with how to convert units of measurement it’s good.

Personally we left pounds and inches/feet behind years ago and it taxes me altogether too much (smile) as I have to delve far back into my memory of early school years before our country went decimal. I think it went something like this.....sixteen ounces to a pound, fourteen pounds to a stone..., and the money - twelve penny’s to a shilling, twenty shillings to the pound ad infinitum!!
