About these units
Quarter (US) (qr (US))
The US quarter equals 25 pounds, serving as a smaller commercial subdivision of the hundredweight. It was used for pricing agricultural goods, livestock feed, and some industrial materials. Its convenience arises from the fact that four quarters make a hundredweight, simplifying scaling between small and medium quantities. Today it is mostly of historical interest, but agricultural economists still encounter it when analyzing archival data.
Ton (Assay) (US) (AT (US))
The US assay ton is a specialized unit used in mining and metallurgy for evaluating ore grades. It is defined as 29.166⅔ grams, a very small mass chosen to simplify calculations relating assay results to tons of ore. The idea is that if an assay ton of sample yields 1 milligram of precious metal, then one actual ton of ore contains 1 ounce of that metal. This scaling makes laboratory results directly translatable to mining yields. While obsolete in modern industrial practice, where metric units dominate, the assay ton remains important in historical mining records and for researchers studying early industrial metallurgy.
