Unit Definition (kin [Japan])
The kin is the Japanese version of the catty, a common weight unit of the Far East. The Japanese identified this unit with a traditional unit equal to about 1.323 pounds or almost exactly 600 grams; this is about 0.75% smaller than the Chinese catty.

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.
