Treseau
Treseau was a French unit of mass, was considered the ounce of the pharmacist 's weight and the weight also corresponded to that. Other names were Gros and Quent. It was also a gold and silver weight and quite different in the French and Swiss regions. The cause was the denier, which was often based on the weight of the marrow . The application for determining the thread size in the textile industry according to the denier had its own regularity, so that a value indication is not immediately indicated.
