Trip (unit)

In the salt works in Halle, travel was a measure of volume and referred to an amount that could be taken from a brine source at one time while maintaining a minimum quality. A period of three to four hours was given to determine the yield.

1 trip = 12 (big trip) = 8 (small trip) buckets of brine

The term was also known on the Elbe . Here a journey of wood corresponded to a shipload and was given as 40 loads . In terms of stones, lime, etc., it meant the amount ( load ) that could be moved at once.
