How Do You Work A Polaroid Camera

Metrology

Here is a summary of the measures used in the Trentino area. For the scope
Tyrolean do not know if they are equally valid.

I. Surface measurements:
- the rain (in Trent 3382 sqm);
- field;
- the acre (in use in Bolzano);

II. Volume measures: a.
for cereals:
- a bushel (modium, at Trent about 170 liters);
- the bushel (starium, sextarium, approximately 21.3 liters = 1 bushel 8 bushels);
- the stariolum (maybe 3 stariola = 1 bushel);
- the Galeta (probably 5 galete = 1 somma, quindi 1 galeta = 31,7 litri)
b. per il vino:
- il carro (plaustrum, a Trento 628 litri);
- la castelata (forse pari al carro);
- l’orna (urna) o concio (a Trento 78,5 litri; a Termeno 81,6 litri)
c. per l’olio:
- la galeta (forse 5 galete = 1 moggio, e allora 1 galeta = circa 34 litri).
- Lo staio (3 staia = 1 galeta).

III. Misure di peso:
- la libbra (a Trento 0,336 kg)
