Troy Story

These Salter scales I found at the local car boot should come in handy, an ickle fish measuring 10 Troy oz's (t oz) .They will need a conversion to (oz) but because they are usually used to weigh gold, silver and the like.


oz = t oz * 1.0971

They are certainly built well despite their age and unlike me, they seem to work as well as when they were conceived. A Gonk that weighed 5 Troy oz's for example would be a record breaker, as 5t oz = 5oz 7 drams.
