Quotations
  • 1882: In the Derby household book of 1561, wheat, malt, and oats are sold by the quarter and the windle, in which the quarter clearly contained sixteen windles, and must have been a wholly different measure from that which we are familiar. — James Edwin Thorold Rogers, A History of Agriculture and Prices in England, Volume 4, p. 208.
