2002-02-19 A letter to Golda:
Golda, When you specify the contents of your products in quarts, which quart are you referring to? There is the US quart of 946 mL and the imperial quart of 1.14 L. If a product is shown as 4 litre/4 quart, the product will hold the 4 US quarts, but not 4 imperial quarts. Because of the confusion of the meaning of the quart unit, is it really necessary to refer to it? Isn't the use of the term litre sufficient, especially from a Canadian company, which should have no reason to use units of measure other than metric.
