Gr. Britain didn’t even begin planning for the metric system until 1965.

If this is a copy of an original, it would be in IUs.

I thought that was only for distance measurement, other weights and measures were changed off of that from the Weights and Measures Act of 1922? (they were using the Dutch system before which is slightly different than IUs but close and same naming conventions as IUs)
