Martian,
Regarding your statement of June 2nd @ 8:49 a.m.
‘’Buddy, there were two different miles up to Good Queen Bess. The militia mile was 5000’ and the land mile was 5280’. That enabled factors to squeeze a little more out of foot, footguards, dragoons, horse, and horseguards. The stone had different values. Until the 21st century, a troy st. was 11.520 av.lb., not 14.000 av.lb.’’
Martian, one ‘’militia’’ mile is:
5000’
Martian, one ‘’land’’ mile is:
348,480 sq.’
Martian, in your world what value does ‘’value’’ value?
Martian, I only ask because I thought 14 was 14, not 9 13/18 or 1837 1/2.
1 troy st. = 14 troy lb.
1 av.st. = 14 av.lb.
1 long st. = 14 long lb.
1 merc.st. = 14 merc.lb.
1 hans.st. = 14 hans.lb.
1 tron st. = 14 tron lb.
1 troy st. = 11.520 av.lb.
1 av.st. = 14.000 av.lb.
1 long st. = 14.400 av.lb.
1 merc.st. = 15.360 av.lb.
1 hans.st. = 18.000 av.lb.
1 tron st. = 19.200 av.lb.
