(338) Centimetre-Gram-Second (CGS) system
A system of units based upon the centimetre as the unit of length, the gram as the unit of weight or mass and the second as the unit of time. In practice this system was enlarged by adding the kelvin, the candela and the mole as base units for the base quantities, temperature, luminous intensity and amount of substance respectively.
