L. Berg writes the measurement and unit-conversion calculators, from everyday length and weight conversions to the less obvious ones where definitions differ between systems. The work centres on getting conversion factors exactly right and flagging the places where a "standard" unit quietly means two different things. Precision here is mostly a matter of refusing to round early.

Particular attention goes to units whose definitions differ between measurement systems, where a plausible-looking factor can be quietly wrong.
