Field notes
The interface groups conversions by historical trade and material: casks, dry goods, cloth, ordinary goods, and apothecaries’ measures. Example buttons include 100 litres, 1 chaldron, 1 ell, and 1 fluid scruple, while the accompanying guide explains distinctions such as troy versus avoirdupois weight. The page also links to reference material from sources including the Victorian Web, Britannica, the University of Nottingham, and Wikipedia.
