p8 weekender february 20 1993 stux imperial and american gallons originated after revolution q does the difference between the imperial gallon and the american gallon have its origins in the ameri can revolution a indirectly yes but while you might think that it was the americans who did the chang ing the opposite is true prior to the revolution american had adopted most of the measure- ments of old england at that time there were two gallons used by the english the ale gallon and the wine gallon which was slightly smaller and the amer icans adopted the latter according to author david

impressed enough to adopt the game and the editor of the har vard magenta called it better than the somewhat sleepy game now played by our men the game spread throughout both countries with different
