Oh, and of course power in that system is slug-furlongs per fortnight. :-)

As for RCH, I work there from time to time and often grin privately at the
other meaning.

There is a unit of force in the old fps system called the slug. Then you get
derivations such as work units of slug feet or loadings of slugs per square
foot etc.
