1ounce*1mile/1 * 5280 ft/1 mile * 1lbf/16oz = 5280/16 ft*lbf = 330 foot-pounds. Actually, that isn't an unreasonable unit for some applications, impact wrenches come to mind (especially the big pneumatic ones).

I had a first year college class where we were reviewing unit conversion. In one of the problems the professor had us calculate the speed of an object in furlongs per fortnight. Every time I think of unit conversions, I laugh about that.

kilogram--> unit of mass, not force

sorry, I just had to say it. If enough people know it, maybe motor specs won't use kg-cm as torque units anymore :)
