The cubic centimetre (or cubic centimeter; US spelling) is a unit of volume and is derived from an SI unit with the symbol cm³.
There are 1000cm³ in 1 litre. 1 cubic inch is equal to 16.38706cm³.
The cubic centimetre is sometimes referred to as cc or ccm - for example when administering drugs in a liquid solution. This is due to its relatively small size.
It is also often used in the 'cc' form to express the size of a petrol or diesel engine and represents the total displacement volume of the engine.
The US gill is a unit of volume in the US customary unit system and uses the symbol gi.
It represents 1/4 of a pint - so in this instance, it is 1/4 of US pint - therefore measures exactly 118.29411825 ml. It's also equal to 8 tablespoons, 24 teaspoons and 5/6 imperial gills.
The gill has been mentioned a number of times in popular literature; including in Treasure Island, Animal Farm and in Dan Simmon's 'The Terror' - and all references are pointing to the use of the gill in terms of alcohol measures or servings.
