Asnée
The Asnée , Anée, was a French measure of grain and liquids used only in the Rhône department , including Lyon . Before the introduction of metric weights and measures, there was an old and a new asnée.
It was a Lyon wine measure of about 45 degrees. The volume called the load, called donkey load, was that which could be loaded onto a donkey.
Grain measure
- 1 Asnée = 6 Bichets / Boisseaux = 9670 Parisian cubic inches = 191.818 liters
- 1 asnée = 4 coupets = 16 piccottins
From 1773 the new bichet was introduced. This could be divided into halves, quarters and eighths. A bichet was now 1728 Paris cubic inches.
- 1 Asnée (new) = 10,386 Parisian cubic inches = 205.664 liters
liquid measure
- 1 asnée = 88 pot = 4,134.6 Parisian cubic inches = 81,956 liters
- 1 pot = 44.65 Parisian cubic inches = 0.93318 liters
