About Fluid Drams
A fluid dram (fl dr, also 'drachm') = 1/8 fl oz ≈ 3.697 mL. Used by apothecaries for precise medicinal compounding; a fluid dram divided into 60 minims. Largely superseded by millilitres but still appears in traditional compounding recipes, older US pharmacopeias, and historical medical literature. 1 fl dr ≈ 3.697 mL.
About Cubic Yards
A cubic yard (yd³) = 27 ft³ ≈ 764.6 L. Standard unit for bulk construction materials in the US: concrete pours, mulch, topsoil, gravel, and fill dirt are ordered and delivered by the yard. A standard concrete mixer truck carries 8-10 yd³. Earth-moving and landfill capacity are measured in millions of cubic yards. One yd³ of concrete ≈4,000 lb. 1 yd³ = 27 ft³ ≈ 764.6 L.
