What is a Pica?

A pica equals 12 points (∼4.233 mm) in printing. Named after the piebald magpie's irregular markings, it comes in PostScript (1/6 inch) and traditional (1/72.27 foot) versions. Still used in graphic design software for layout measurements.

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.
