- "In our coppers we have fifths and tenths both of the pound and the ounce, so that a farthing thrown into the scale with our ounce is the equivalent (within one grain) to the so-called metric-ounce or sixteenth of 500 grammes, and with eight halfpence on the pound we get the half-kilo quite near enough for practical purposes."
