An assortment of articles asserting the superiority of British weights and measures to the French decimal system, including nineteenth century sources.
http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/estatopia/inch.htm

Extractions: The world is slowly being forced by governments, civil servants and multi-national industries into adopting the metric measurement system in place of the traditional systems which have been in use for centuries, for millenia in fact. The use of metric units has been legally acceptable in the UK since 1897 and in the USA since 1866 and yet the traditional system prevails in spite of this option. If metric were an improvement on traditional measurements then it would have been universally adopted long ago. The truth is that metric offers no advantages to people in their daily lives and will never be used unless it is forced upon us by criminalising the use of imperial measurement, something which is happening now in the UK and has happened in every other country where metric is used. In fact, the people of other countries have never voluntarily adopted metric, it has always been imposed upon them against their will by politicians and bureaucrats.

http://www.exoticbird.com/macweight.html

Extractions: In most cases the weights are those of captive birds. There can be extreme variation in individuals, the weight being influenced by diet, housing, sex, sub-species and age. Where more than 10 or so birds were weighed, the highest and lowest weights were not taken into account if these differed markedly from the norm. Chick weights, with 5 or 6 exceptions, were of chicks hatched in the author's care. Measurements are from beak to tip of tail. There can be considerable variations in individuals of the same species, especially in those with a wide geographical range.

Weights And Measures Guidelines For Sales At Farmers Markets
This NebFact focuses on the sale of fresh produce at farmers markets, roadside stands, and other seasonal outlets.
http://www.ianr.unl.edu/pubs/horticulture/nf344.htm

Extractions: Stands and Other Commercial Outlets by Laurie Hodges, Commercial Vegetable Specialist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Retail sale of fruits, vegetables, and other items is regulated by the Nebraska Weights and Measures Act. Vendors may erroneously believe that they are exempt from these regulations because they sell relatively little compared to a supermarket or because they only sell for a few months of the year. They are wrong. The Nebraska Weights and Measures Act applies to all sales. The regulation was established to ensure that buyers receive sufficient and accurate information with which to compare quantity and price. Even if you sell by count, "three ears of corn for $1," for example, compliance with the Weights and Measures Act is necessary. As a vendor, complying with the regulations protects you from perceptions of shortchanging or misrepresenting your product. This NebFact focuses on the sale of fresh produce at farmers' markets, roadside stands, and other seasonal outlets. Method of Sale You may have seen fruits and vegetables made available using several different types of containers or measures. Sometimes these units are not the same as those used in wholesale markets or within specific markets, such as restaurants. These container sizes may not convert directly to common household units used in freezing or canning produce. However, legal weights and measures are required at all times when selling to consumers at farmers' markets, roadside stands, or other commercial outlets. Use the following information as a guideline on how to sell foods directly to consumers. If you have specific questions or a situation that is not clear to you regarding weights or measures, please use the contact information for assistance provided at the end of this publication.
