Unit Definition (cental)
The cental is an alternate name in Britain for the U.S. hundredweight, which is equal to exactly 100 pounds (the British hundredweight is 112 pounds). Introduced by British merchants around 1850, the name was apparently coined after the model of the quintal. The cental has sometimes been confused with the centner.

Unit Definition (maund [India])
The maund is a traditional unit of weight in India and throughout South Asia. The maund varied considerably, but during the period of British rule in India it was standardized at about 82.286 pounds or 37.3242 kilograms. The maund is divided into 40 seers. Since 1980, Pakistan has used a metric version of the maund equal to exactly 40 kilograms (88.185 pounds), thus making the seer equal to the kilogram.
