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.

Unit Definition (clove)
The clove is an old English unit of weight. A clove is usually considered equal to 1/2 stone or 1/16 hundredweight; that's 7 pounds (3.175 kilograms) by the modern definition of the stone, but in the past the clove varied from 6.25 to 8 pounds.
