Unit Definition (tael, tahil [Japan])
The tael, tahil [Japan] is a traditional unit of weight used throughout eastern Asia. During the colonial period, the tael was more or less standardized throughout the region at 4/3 ounce avoirdupois (1/16 catty, 1/12 pound, or about 37.8 grams). In Japan, however, the tael was identified with a slightly smaller traditional unit and is considered equal to 1.323 ounces (37.51 grams). The tael is usually considered equal to the Chinese liang.

Unit Definition (quarter (ton) [US])
The quarter (ton) [US] is a traditional unit of weight equal to 1/4 hundredweight. In the U.S., "quarter" is also used informally to mean 1/4 ton, or 500 pounds (226.80 kilograms).
