There were 2 CA's printed a while ago (somewhere around CA 90, or
91, or 92, I believe) that were on Metrology. Not meteorology, the
study of weather, but metrology, the study of measurements. The
CA's in question contained a _lot_ of equivalencies between various
measurements - gallons, els, pences, quarts, rods, and the like, I think.
