What is a quarter (US) unit?

A quarter (US) is a customary mass unit equal to one quarter of a US hundredweight, or 25 pounds.

What is the gamma unit used for?

Gamma is a historical mass unit equal to one microgram, used primarily for measuring very small masses in science.

Why convert from quarter (US) to gamma?
