| Description | Not so long ago just about every trade and occupation evolved a set of units peculiar to itself. Take brewers and tavern keepers for example. Their need to measure liquid volumes, both in bulk and to serve to individual thirsty customers, led to the Tun which equalled two Butts, each being two Hogsheads. Then the very convenient binary sequence is interrupted, a Hogshead being only one-and-a-half Barrels, and resumed with a Barrel being two Firkins which is two Pins and brings us to familiar territory, a Pin being two Gallons, a Gallon four Quarts and a Quart two Pints. At last the thirsty customer gets served. There is further subdivision into Gills, Drams, and Nips for stronger wines and spirits, but beer and ale stop with the pint on the grounds that a lesser quantity than a pint is not worth the trouble of drinking. These antique measures have succumbed to the needs for legal definition in more recent times by declaring the gallon to equal 282 cubic inches. Hence, it is linked to the Systeme International des Unites (SI) since an inch is defined as exactly 25.4 millimetres. That definition of the gallon applies to the U.K., but Americans have been giving short measure with their smaller gallon for centuries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
