TABLE XXXIV.
Snows THE RELATIVE OR EQUIVALENT WEIGHT OR IMPERIAL S PONES \
OF 14 LBS., FROM 1 TO 100 STONES, IN SCOTCH TROYES OR DUTCH j
stones of 17| Imperial lbs., in Edinburgh Trone stones of !
22 Imperial lbs., in Glasgow Trone stones of 22J Imperial |
lbs., in Ayrshire Trone stones of 24 Imperial lbs., in Smith- j
field or London stones of 8 Imperial lbs., in scores or 20 j
Imperial lbs., and in cwts. or 112 Imperial lbs.
In the left-hand column of the Table are placed the Imperial '
stones, opposite which, in the other columns, under their respec¬
tive headings, is found the relative or equivalent weight of the
Imperial stones, in stones and pounds of the weights above named.
The Dutch and Trone stones are calculated at 16 of their own j
S ounces to the pound, and 16 of these pounds to the stone, and the
relative weight is set down to the nearest quarter of a pound,
either over or under the exact result.
Note. See Remarks on these stones in the Table of Weights
and Measures; and the relative weight of the Imperial pound,
and several of these pounds, in Table XXXVIII.
Example. Required the weight in Glasgow Trone stones of an !
i animal which weighs 78 Imperial stones?
I In the Table, opposite 39, half of 78 Imperial Sts. Lbs. j
stones, under “ Glasgow stones,” stands . . 24 4J
Which multiply by 2 1
Glasgow Trone weight, . . 48 8J
If an equivalent for Imperial stones is wanted in Trone stones
differing in weight from those in the Table, multiply the given
number of Imperial stones by 14, and divide the product by the
number of Imperial pounds in the required Trone stone, the
quotient is the equivalent in stones of that weight; if there is a
remainder, multiply it by 16, and divide by the former divisor,
the quotient is pounds; if there is still a remainder, multiply by
16, and divide by the same divisor for ounces.
To find an equivalent for Imperial pounds, in Trone pounds,
multiply the Imperial pounds by 16, and divide the product by
the number of Imperial ounces in the given Trone pound, the
quotient is pounds of that weight; if there is a remainder, mul¬
tiply it by 16, and divide by the former divisor for ounces.
To find an equivalent for Trone stones in Imperial stones,
■multiply the given Trone stones by the number of Imperial
pounds in its stone (which is always the same as the number of
