Unit Definition (keel [coal])
The keel is a traditional British unit of weight for coal. After considerable variation, the keel of coal was standardized in 1695 as 21.2 long tons, or 47 488 pounds (21.5402 metric tons). This is the approximate weight of coal carried at that time by barges on the river Tyne in northern England; the barges were also called keels, from the Dutch word kiel for such a ship.

Unit Definition (myriagram)
The myriagram is a metric unit of mass equal to 10 000 grams or 10 kilograms (about 22.046 pounds). Although it is considered obsolete now, the myriagram was a useful unit comparable to the English quarter or Spanish arroba.
