  Gallon \Gal"lon\, n. [OF galon, jalon, LL. galo, galona, fr.
     galum a liquid measure; cf. F. jale large bowl. Cf. Gill a
     measure.]
     A measure of capacity, containing four quarts; -- used, for
     the most part, in liquid measure, but sometimes in dry
     measure.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The standart gallon of the Unites States contains 231
           cubic inches, or 8.3389 pounds avoirdupois of distilled
           water at its maximum density, and with the barometer at
           30 inches. This is almost exactly equivalent to a
           cylinder of seven inches in diameter and six inches in
           height, and is the same as the old English wine gallon.
           The beer gallon, now little used in the United States,
           contains 282 cubic inches. The English imperial gallon
           contains 10 pounds avoirdupois of distilled water at
           62? of Fahrenheit, and barometer at 30 inches, equal to
           277.274 cubic inches.
