Unit Definition (truss)
The truss is a traditional weight unit, generally equal to 4 stone or 56 pounds (about 25.4 kilograms). The truss was used primarily for measuring hay. In 1795, Parliament specified that a truss of hay should equal 56 pounds for old hay or 60 pounds (about 27.2 kilograms) for new hay.

Unit Definition (fother [lead])
The fother is a traditional English unit of weight for lead. The fother, equal to 30 fotmals, was always a little smaller than a (long) ton. The original version seems to have been equivalent to 2160 avoirdupois pounds, and the version still being used in the nineteenth century was equal to 19.5 hundredweight or 2184 pounds.
