Mile (US Survey)

The US survey mile is a unit of length used in land surveying in the United States. It is defined as exactly 5,280 survey feet, with one survey foot equal to 1200/3937 meters (approximately 0.3048006096 meters). This makes the US survey mile equal to about 1,609.3472 meters, slightly longer than the international (statute) mile, which is exactly 1,609.344 meters.

The US survey mile was established to maintain consistency with older land measurement systems based on the Mendenhall Order of 1893. It was commonly used in mapping, legal land descriptions, and public land surveys.

Although the difference between the survey and statute mile is very small (about 3.2 millimeters), it can be significant over large distances. As of 2023, the U.S. has officially retired the survey foot (and survey mile) for most applications, favoring the international foot and mile to standardize measurements.

Cubit (UK)

The cubit is an ancient unit of length based on the distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. In the UK, the cubit varied historically but was generally considered to be about 18 inches (approximately 45.72 centimeters).

The cubit was used in medieval England and earlier times for measuring lengths, especially in construction and tailoring. It’s one of the oldest recorded units of measurement, with origins in ancient civilizations like Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Though obsolete in modern measurement systems, the cubit remains important in historical and archaeological contexts, reflecting early human methods of standardizing length based on the human body.

Summary:

1 cubit (UK) ≈ 18 inches (45.72 cm)
Based on the length of the forearm
