Hundred (unit)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hundred was a measure of counting and pieces.

A distinction was made between large and small hundred. The value of this measure differed from the quantity 100. The small hundred was 100, the big hundred was greater than 100. So were

  • 1 hundred skins with 5 score of 20 pieces still 100 pieces, the small hundred, but with
  • Stockfish was 1 hundred equal to 124 pieces, or the big hundred, and
  • 1 hundred salt = 7 load = 126 barrels.

The dimensional chain was

  • 1 large hundred = 20 large = 24 small hundred = 48 shock = 72 rooms = 96 volume = 144 stairs = 192 almonds = 240 dozen = 2880 pieces
  • 1 large hundred = 24 small hundred = 48 shock = 2880 pieces
  • 1 hundred heads = 104 pieces

Small hundred

  • 1 ring = 2 small hundred = 4 shock of 60 pieces

Big hundred

The big hundred generally had 120 pieces. It was used in the timber trade.

  • 1 hundred boards or planks = 10 twelve = 120 pieces
  • 1 large hundred folding wood (smaller barrel staves) = 12 rings = 48 shock = 240 pieces
  • 1 sixty carriage lap (selected thin boards made of oak ) = 60 hundred

Weight measure

In France , the hundred was also a weight measure for salt from the district near La Rochelle ( Département Charente-Maritime ) and Rochefort .

  • 1 hundred (salt) = 28 muid = 672 boisseaux = 12 ½ load (hamburger)
