Truche
The Truche , in Bohemian Truhla for trough, was a measure of volume in Bohemian mines for coal . The term for chest or chest, a square box, was similar in the Saxon mines. Truche, Druche, Droho, Truhne or Trohne can also be derived from this. The coal measure had a size of 20 filling barrels. In mining, a filling barrel was understood to mean a barrel of a certain size with which the coals were filled into the buckets.
- 1 truche = 20 barrel
The truche was also used for the trade in china clay ( kaolin ).
