Hello Cindy,

    it's an old British measurment. Leave it to the Brits, Pennyweight
    "DWT", Pound "LB". 

    When I came to the U.S. 30 something years ago I had to to a lot of
    adjusting. Gram to DWT, Millimeter to Gauge for metal, Inches and
    fractions for dimensions of that metal, Drill bits by numbers, Stones
    by mm. I'm getting a headache again. Is it clear to you now, it ain't
    to me.
