there is 1016 kilograms in a ton
and I think that there are 20 hundredweights in a ton
1016 / 20 = 50.8


50.8 kg = 1 cwt
although someone who went to a grammar school would probably better confirm this..

Google has an automatic converter..
just type eg..
9kg in lbs
and it will work it out!

I second your recommendation, but sad to say it does not include hundredweights (cwt)!

Hadn't noticed that, - wonder if there are many people under forty who have ever used a 'hundredweight' as a measure ? I see perches, poles and chains are missing from the 'distance' list too. No gill or ferkin in the liquid volume, but a bushel and a peck are there in the dry.

Makes me feel quite archaic :D

Five and a half yards equals one rod, pole or perch
