Unit Definition (flask)
The flask is a commercial unit of weight formerly used to measure liquid mercury (or quicksilver, as it was called). The flask was equal to 76.5 pounds avoirdupois, which is equivalent to almost exactly 34.7 kilograms.

Unit Definition (slinch)
The slinch is a unit of mass invented by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The unit is part of a system based on the pound of force and the inch. One slinch is the mass accelerated at one inch per second per second by a force of one pound; thus the slinch equals exactly 12 slugs or about 386.088 pounds (175.1268 kilograms). The word is a contraction of slug-inch. In the U.S. military aircraft industry, this unit is sometimes called a mug. It has also been called a snail.
