Hey all,

 

I was talking about scale and mentioned Jan Smits' excellent web page for older units of measure but when I went to the link I have I got the dreaded 404 message. Doing a quick search in Google and Yahoo pulled up nothing. I couldn't find it on the library's web page (but then I don't read Dutch). Does anyone know where it went?
