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.
Stone (st)
Definition
A stone (st) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35029 kilograms.
History
The stone has been used as a weight measure in England and Ireland since at least the 14th century. Different commodities historically used different stone weights; the 14-pound stone was standardized in 1835 by the British Weights and Measures Act.
Current use
Stones are primarily used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to express body weight (e.g., '11 stone 4 pounds'). They are not used in the United States or most other countries.
