Mil

A mil is a unit of length commonly used in engineering and manufacturing to measure very small distances, especially thicknesses. It is equal to one-thousandth of an inch (0.001 inch), which is approximately 0.0254 millimeters.

The mil is widely used in industries like plastic film, coatings, wire diameter, and mechanical parts, where precise measurements of thin materials are necessary. It should not be confused with the millimeter, which is 0.001 meters or 1,000 microns — much larger than a mil.

Key points:

1 mil = 0.001 inch = 0.0254 mm
Used mainly for small thicknesses or diameters
Common in engineering, manufacturing, and material sciences
Not to be confused with millimeter (mm)

The mil remains an important unit in technical fields where fine measurement is critical.

Ell

An ell is a historical unit of length that was commonly used in medieval Europe, especially for measuring textiles and cloth. Its length varied by region but was typically about 45 inches (approximately 1.143 meters).

The ell originated from the length of the arm or forearm and was often used by tailors and merchants to measure fabric. Different countries had their own versions—for example, the English ell was about 45 inches, while the Scottish ell was longer, around 37 inches.

Although obsolete today, the ell played an important role in trade and clothing production before standardized measurements became widespread.

Summary:

1 ell ≈ 45 inches (1.143 meters)
Used mainly for measuring cloth and textiles
Length varied by region and country

The ell is now largely of historical interest but reflects the origins of many modern measurement systems.
