20 hundredweight (cwt) is one ton.
30 cwt=1.5 ton..............................

16 oz =1 pound (2.2 to the kilo)
112 pounds = 1 cwt. ( and so, 20 cwt to the ton)
1 ton= 2240 pounds.

BTW. there are 63,360 inches in a mile and 240 pennies in the other kind of pound

Need I go on................Old people know this stuff..............It clogs up their memory banks. 56 pounds in a bushell. 9 gallons of beer in a firkin.......

Alright alright!................ I know!
