TTRT 



of a metre, 

 millimetre = Woo * a metre, 

 micron (/u) == toVtf * a millimetre, 

 kilometre = iooo metres. 



Mass. 



gramme = the mass of i cubic centimetre of distilled 

 water at the temperature of its maximum density, 4 C. 

 or 39*2 F., 1 c.c. at 16 C. or 6o*8 F. = 0*9989 gramme. 

 1 gramme equals 15*432 grains, 

 decigramme = -fy of a gramme, 

 centigramme = ^ of a gramme, 

 milligramme = y^Vo- f a gramme, 

 kilogramme = 1000 grammes. 



Volume.
