Furlong

A furlong is a traditional unit of distance used primarily in agriculture and horse racing. It is equal to 220 yards, 660 feet, or 1/8 of a mile (approximately 201.168 meters).

The word "furlong" comes from the Old English words furh (furrow) and lang (long), originally referring to the length of a furrow in a 10-acre field. It was historically used in England to measure field lengths for plowing.

In modern times, the furlong is rarely used outside of horse racing, where race distances are still often given in furlongs, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Conversions:

1 furlong = 660 feet
1 furlong = 220 yards
1 furlong ≈ 201.168 meters
8 furlongs = 1 mile

Although considered outdated for most uses, the furlong remains a culturally significant unit in some specific fields.

Caliber

Caliber is a term used to describe the internal diameter of a cylindrical object, most commonly the inside diameter of a gun barrel or firearm bore. It is typically measured in inches or millimeters.

In firearms, caliber indicates the diameter of the bullet or projectile that can be fired from the barrel (e.g., a .45 caliber means the barrel’s internal diameter is 0.45 inches).
In other contexts, such as engineering or piping, caliber can refer more generally to the diameter or thickness of tubes or cylindrical objects.

Key points:

Caliber = internal diameter of a barrel or tube
Measured in inches or millimeters
Important for firearm specifications and ammunition compatibility
Also used in engineering and manufacturing

Caliber is crucial for matching ammunition to firearms and for defining performance characteristics like velocity and accuracy.
