TABLES OF EQUIVALENTSIn these tables it is necessary to differentiate between the “international foot” andthe “survey foot”—the survey foot is underlined.When the name of a unit is enclosed in brackets (thus, [1 hand] . . . ), this indicates(1) that the unit is not in general current use in the United States, or (2) thatthe unit is believed to be based on “custom and usage” rather than on formalauthoritative definition.Equivalents involving decimals are, in most instances, rounded off to the thirddecimal place except where they are exact, in which cases these exact equivalentsare so designated. The equivalents of the imprecise units “tablespoon” and “teaspoon”are rounded to the nearest milliliter.
