Link (US Survey)

The US survey link is a unit of length used in the United States for land surveying, defined as exactly 7.92 US survey inches. Since one US survey inch is slightly longer than the international inch (due to the US survey foot), the US survey link is approximately 0.201168 meters.

It is part of the US survey system, derived from Gunter’s chain, which is divided into 100 links per chain (66 US survey feet). Links are used to measure small distances in surveying and land measurement.

Key facts:

1 US survey link = 7.92 US survey inches
1 US survey link ≈ 0.201168 meters
100 links = 1 US survey chain (66 US survey feet)
25 links = 1 US survey rod (16.5 US survey feet)

Though the US survey units are being phased out, the US survey link still appears in historical land records and legal surveying documents.

Hand

A hand is a traditional unit of length primarily used to measure the height of horses. It is equal to 4 inches or 10.16 centimeters.

The origin of the hand as a measurement comes from using the width of a human hand, and it has been standardized at 4 inches for consistency in horse measurement. Horse height is expressed in "hands," measured from the ground to the highest point of the withers (the ridge between the shoulder blades).

Key points:

1 hand = 4 inches
1 hand = 10.16 centimeters
Used mainly for measuring horse height
Horse height is often given in hands and inches, e.g., 15.2 hands means 15 hands plus 2 inches

The hand remains the standard unit for horse height in many English-speaking countries.
