International Nautical League


The international nautical league is a standardized version of the nautical league used in maritime navigation. It is defined as exactly 3 international nautical miles, which equals 5,556 meters or about 3.45 miles. This standardization helps avoid confusion caused by variations in historical definitions of the league. While the nautical mile remains the primary unit in modern navigation, the international nautical league provides a consistent way to measure longer distances at sea when needed.


Nail (Cloth)


A nail is a traditional unit of length used in cloth measurement, equal to 2¼ inches or approximately 5.715 centimeters. It was commonly used by tailors and fabric merchants in England to measure small lengths of fabric.


The term “nail” likely originates from the practice of marking lengths on a measuring stick with notches or nails, making it easy to measure fabric quickly. The nail was a convenient subdivision of the yard, with 1 yard = 16 nails.


Though obsolete today, the nail remains an interesting part of historical textile measurement systems.


Summary:



  • 1 nail = 2¼ inches (5.715 cm)



  • 1 yard = 16 nails



  • Used historically in tailoring and fabric trade



  • Originates from notches or nails on measuring sticks
