Drams (dr)
Definition
A dram (dr) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 1/16 of an ounce or approximately 1.7718 grams in the avoirdupois system.
History
The dram derives from the Greek 'drachma', an ancient coin and weight. It entered English measurement through the apothecaries' system and was later incorporated into the avoirdupois system with a different quantity.
Current use
Drams are rarely used today in everyday measurements. They may appear in some older pharmaceutical prescriptions, historical texts, and occasionally in traditional crafts and recipes.
Hectograms (hg)
Definition
A hectogram (hg) is a metric unit of mass equal to 100 grams or one tenth of a kilogram.
History
The hectogram is part of the metric prefix system. It has found particular popularity in Italian food culture for measuring deli meats, cheeses, and vegetables.
Current use
Hectograms (known as 'etti' in Italian) are commonly used in Italy for food purchases at markets and delis. They occasionally appear in some other European and South American countries for food labeling.
