Re: Questions & Questions
What kind of metric measurements would these be?

Re: Questions & Questions
Have you ever heard of such measurements, metric or not, as: "As the Crow flies", or place names such as Woop Woop, At the back o'Bourke, or Somewhere in the Sticks?

Wasn't it usual for those cooking dinner to use such measurements as a cup of this, a pinch of that, a tad of the other & a skerrick of the whatever?

Re: Questions & Questions
Is there an infographic that explains these cooking measurements?

Re: Questions & Questions
Would the people who used such measurements actually know what an "infographic" is?

Re: Questions & Questions
Would the librarian have access to that sort of information?

Re: Questions & Questions
Don't most librarians who work in libraries have access to dictionaries, encyclopedias & the like?

Re: Questions & Questions
Wouldn't that depend on how much money the chief librarian is permitted to spend, to run the library, by its governing organisation?

Who is likely to be the governing organisation of a library?

Re: Questions & Questions
Aren't there specialist libraries for various organisations, other than university, school & college libraries, or state & council libraries?

Re: Questions & Questions
Does the average person have access to those kinds of special libraries?
