I thought it was avoiding family on the holidays to fight home invaders and meet the neighbors.
Only when I go to stand up after squatting for a time.
Gotcha. Terrifying.
Ahhh, ok. Thanks!
Found some pics. Definitely 7 and 1/2.
Agreed. It sent me digging.
An avoirdupois pound is equal to 16 avoirdupois ounces and to exactly 7,000 grains. The conversion factor between the kilogram and the international pound was therefore chosen to be divisible by 7 with a terminating decimal representation, and an (international) grain is thus equal to exactly 64.79891 milligrams.
The Avoirdupois entry had a good visual representation as well as more weights history.
The "q. s." remains a mystery though.
That makes sense. And the q. s.
So "7 1-2" should be read as 7.5? Do you know if there is a difference between "grs" and "GRS"?
Is it 7*(1-2) = 7 to 14grs, or 7+(1-2) = 8 to 9grs?
Also love the range of potential error. Plus or minus 1gr? Eh, it's fine.
