[USMA:52745] The gill in 1933

[James Frysinger]

I'm reading one of my dad's old Navy books. This lists the daily ration 
specified by an act of Congress (no name given for this act) on 1933 
March 02.

All quantities are given in ounces avoirdupois except eggs and "oil or 
sauce or vinegar". The latter is specified as 2/5 gill.

I had not realized that the gill was still in use in the U.S. at that 
late date.

Jim
