Colliery (unit)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bill was a measure that was used in the preparation of mining bills. The yield from a blast furnace or smelter was taken into account. Occasionally, a few Kuxe were added, as this took into account the taxes to the owner of the mine / land or the community and often also to the church . 128 Kuxes then often became 129 or 130. But there could also be more.

  • 1 mine = 4 layers = 32 logs / parts = 128 kuxe
  • 4 Kux = 1 trunk
  • 32 Kux = 1 layer
