What is a quarter (UK) in terms of pounds?

A quarter (UK) is equal to one quarter of a long hundredweight, which is 28 avoirdupois pounds.

What does one gamma represent?

One gamma corresponds to one microgram, or 10⁻⁶ gram, used for measuring extremely small masses.

Why convert from quarter (UK) to gamma?

Converting quarter (UK) to gamma helps translate large historic British mass units into micro-scale scientific measurements, aiding archival and analytical work.
