The minim (abbreviated min, ♏, or ) is a unit of volume in both the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Specifically it is 1⁄60 of a fluidram or 1⁄480 of a fluid ounce. In the pharmacopeoia, it is also noted that the minim was originally created by Mr. Timothy Lane, F.R.S, as 61440 parts per wine gallon.
A peck is an imperial and United States customary unit of dry volume, equivalent to 2 gallons or 8 dry quarts or 16 dry pints (9.09 (UK) or 8.81 (US) liters). Two pecks make a kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a bushel. Although the peck is no longer widely used, some produce, such as apples, is still often sold by the peck.
