Grista
The Grista , also Grieste , was a Russian measure of weight for hay . A Grieste was called twisted hay in Courland . The weight was about 1 pound. On an area of 2,400 square fathers (Russian) (about 2000 square meters ), a maximum of 10 saaden (brook and hay straw) to a minimum of 4 saaden (bog straw) was calculated. The measure corresponded to 1/2 pud, about 20 pounds (Russian). 480 grista corresponded to a parms / penna , the larger unit, and were 240 poods.
- 1 Grista = 16.7 inch pounds = 8.35 kilograms (inch pounds assumed with 0.5 kilograms)
- 1 Grista = 20 funta / pound (Russian) (25 pounds (Russian) for delivery to the army) = approximately more than 8 kilograms
- 1 load of hay = 15 puds = 30 grista
- 1 Saade = 10 grista
