December 31, 20187 yr Ok, if on a Peter Wright anvil the first number is in hundredweight and the second being 28 can you tell me what 106 would be? I usume 134 as the weight am I correct?
December 31, 20187 yr Welcome to IFI! If you haven't yet, please READ THIS FIRST!!! A hundredweight is 112 lbs, so 112+0+6=118 lbs.
December 31, 20187 yr 1.0.6 Should be 118 lb...112+0+6 Welcome to IFI... I always suggest reading this to get the best out of the forum. READ THIS FIRST Looks like we posted at the same time.Good to see my math is still OK.
December 31, 20187 yr English hundred weight is given as multiples of 1. Hundred weight (112lbs), 2. Quarter weight (28lbs), then 3. Pounds (1lb).
December 31, 20187 yr Easy to remember how hundred weights work, first number is multiples of 112 pounds, second number is 1/4s of 112 or 28 pounds per number, which can never be larger than 3, third number is left overs which can never be larger than 27.
January 1, 20197 yr Just remember that a hundred weight is 8 stone and a quarter hundred weight is 2 stone. (and note in 37 years of smithing I have see a couple of anvils that were mis-stamped and so broke the 0-3 and <28 rules
