Thanks to the helpfulness of JoeyJoan K. here on JAP I now have a resource for converting old recipes to modern equivalents.
Fortunately my mother's recipes are usually much more modern than these measurements.... but it is very nice to know where to look when you need the info.
I've included a link to the page which also explains "quick and slow" oven temperatures and other things.
