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.

Handbreadth

A handbreadth is a traditional unit of length based on the width of a human hand, typically measured from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger when the hand is fully extended. It was commonly used in ancient and medieval times for everyday measurements.

The handbreadth is generally about 3 to 4 inches (approximately 7.5 to 10 centimeters), though the exact length could vary by culture and era.
It served as a practical, easy-to-use measure in tailoring, construction, and daily life before standardized units were established.
The handbreadth is one of several body-based units, like the span and palm, reflecting how humans used their own bodies for measuring.

Summary:

About 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm)
Based on the width of an extended hand
Used historically in various cultures
