Later, it took 5280 feet to accomodate exactly 8 furlongs, the most popular measure of the time. Actually, the usual happened : the foot and the rod went slowly their separate ways, being used by different industries (the weaver and the farmer ...) Things had to be straightened up and, as the foot and the rod were already entrenched, we find these strange figures : 16.5 ft/rod and 5280 ft/mile. This was voted by the House under Queen Elizabeth I in 1595. It should be noted that the furlong comes from the Greek and Roman stadion , which they themselves inherited from more ancient times. It seems to be the optimal length for the traditional plough.

Consumer Protection conducts regulatory programs and provides related services to protect the agricultural industry, businesses and consumers in the County through the fair and equitable application of the law, and by doing so, protect and promote the public health and welfare of the general public. The County Department of Weights and Measures was created in 1915 in response to California's Weights and Measures Act of 1913. This act established regular testing of scales and measures, required the County to appoint a person to perform these duties and provided that the person be paid five dollars per day. Prior to this act, inspection of scales and measures was a responsibility of the County Clerk. J.M. Bracewell was the first Sealer appointed by the County. In 1993, the Board of Supervisors combined the Agriculture and Weights and Measures departments in an effort to reduce costs and increase service delivery to the residents of the County and appointed Edouard Layaye as the County's first Agricultural Commissioner/Sealer.

33. Monetary Systems weights and measures for classical money systems. Covers Ancient Greece, Roman Empire and Byzantium. http://www.culture.gr/nm/presveis/Pages/info/Reference/MonSys.html

Monetary systems. Weight standards and denominations A great variety of monetary systems was employed in the ancient world, basically differentiating in their denominations (multiples and fractions of the basic monetary unit) and their weight standards (the fixed weights of every denomination). Based on weight standards varying from region to region, relationships were fixed among the coinages which were struck on different metals (gold, silver, bronze, etc), remaining in use for a short or a long while. Changes occured to these relationships due to several factors (inflation, debasement, adoption of a new weight standard, minting of new denominations, etc). Some characteristic examples, coming from three major eras, are displayed below. Most denominations are referred to with their theoretical weight. ANCIENT HELLENIC WORLD Attic weight standard Athens, Euboia, Chalkidike, Philip II [gold coinage], Alexander III, etc 1 talent (weight unit; 26,196 g) = 60 minai = 6,000 silver drachms = 36,000 silver obols 1 mina (weight unit; 436.6 g) = 100 silver drachms = 600 silver obols
