The precision is 1 (1 decimal place), and units are abbreviated and linked. {{convert|895|hPa|psi inHg atm mbar|1|abbr=on|lk=on}} → 895 hPa (13.0 psi ; 26.4 inHg ; 0.9 atm ; 895.0 mbar ) It is preferable to use "+" to separate output units when the first unit uses engineering notation; that avoids looking up the unit in Module:Convert/extra .

The Magna Carta of 1215 stipulates that there should be a standard measure of volume for wine, ale and corn (the London Quarter), and for weight, but does not define these units. [6] Later development of the English system was by defining the units in laws and by issuing measurement standards. Standards were renewed in 1496, 1588, and 1758. [7]
Conversions between units in the metric system are defined by their prefixes (for example, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 milligram = 0.001 grams) and are thus not listed in this article. Exceptions are made if the unit is commonly known by another name (for example, 1 micron = 10 −6 metre).
[1]: 139 The base and coherent derived units of the SI together form a coherent system of units (the set of coherent SI units). A useful property of a coherent system is that when the numerical values of physical quantities are expressed in terms of the units of the system, then the equations between the numerical values have exactly the same ...
The mobile phone system had 137,000 connections as of 2012. [1] The operators are Vodafone – (GSM) (EDGE) and Digicel – (GSM) (HSPA+/3G) (EDGE). The fixed-line telephone system included 5,800 connections as of that year. It is operated by Vodafone. The system is served by copper wire on the main island aided by radio links in outer islands.
Vodafone Group (VOD), the world's largest mobile communications company by revenue, said Wednesday that it agreed to sell its entire 3.2% stake in China Mobile (CHL), for £4.3 billion (about $6.5 ...
The earliest records of English units of measure involve the weight (and therefore the value) of Saxon coins. The penny introduced by Offa was about 20 grains (1.296 g). Edward the Elder increased the weight of the English penny to 26 grains (1.685 g), thereby aligning it with the penny of Charlemagne.
