Template:Long ton/doc

Usage
This template is intended to allow entry of imperial weights (Avoirdupois), measured in tons, hundredweights, quarters and/or pounds (ton, cwt, qr and/or lb) and provide a conversion into pounds and into tonnes (metric tons) or kilograms (if the first parameter is blank or zero).

This format is traditional for the specification of locomotive and bells cast manufactured or used in the UK and some other Commonwealth countries. See Dove's Bellringers' Guide.
