FYI - American and British measuring units have always been a little different. A British cup is 10 ounces, a pint is 20 ounces, a quart is 40 ounces and an Imperial gallon has 160 ounces. This is why some of your formulae do not work quite right when the author is English ? you would need to adjust the measurements accordingly.
