What is a US Survey Chain?
The US survey chain (∼20.1168 m) used the US survey foot. This measurement was key in the rectangular survey system that mapped the American frontier.
What is a Nail Measurement?
A nail was 2.25 inches (5.715 cm) or 1/16th of a yard. Tudor-era clothing patterns specified dimensions in nails, with 4 nails making 1 quarter-yard. The term survives in 'eleven-nail' boots indicating sole length.
