	English units of measurement. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Many American units of weights and measures are based on units in use in Great Britain before 1824, when the British Imperial System was established.
		Since the Mendenhall Order of 1893, the U.S. yard and pound and all other units derived from them have been defined in terms of the metric units of length and mass, the meter and the kilogram; thus, there is no longer any direct relationship between American units and British units of the same name.
		In 1959 an international agreement was reached among English-speaking nations to use the same metric equivalents for the yard and pound for purposes of science and technology; these values are 1 yd=0.9144 meter (m) and 1 lb=0.45359237 kilogram (kg).
