British weight measures

[Jerome Yuzyk <jerome@supernet.ab.ca>]

only tangentially Alpine-related:

I was reading about the history of Humber and there was reference made to 
the weight of one of their cars being    26 cwt 2 qr   . I've seen the 
'cwt' measure listed in Rootes literature but have never got around to 
asking what it meant, and now this 'qr' measure. Anybody?
