One degreeKMW is roughly equivalent to 1 wt% sugaror 5 Oeschle. It was named after theabbreviation for KlosterneuburgerMostwaage meaning Klosterneuburg mustscale.TKMW=I wt% (E)International unit of velocity employed innavigation. The unit dates from the latesixteenth century, when the speed of a shipwas found by dropping afloattied to aknotted line (knotted log) over the side ofthe vessel. The knots were originally sevenfathoms apart. The number of knotspassing in 30 seconds gave the speed of theship in nautical miles per hour.1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour (E)1 knot= 1852 mJi"1 (E)1 knot w 6076.11548556 fUT1 (E)
