Link

A link is a traditional unit of length used primarily in land surveying. It is defined as exactly 7.92 inches or approximately 20.1168 centimeters.

The link originated from Gunter's chain, a 66-foot measuring device introduced in 1620 by English mathematician Edmund Gunter. This chain was divided into 100 equal parts, each measuring one link. The link became a standard unit in English-speaking countries for surveying and land measurement.

Key Facts:

1 link = 7.92 inches
1 link ≈ 20.1168 cm
25 links = 1 rod (16.5 feet)
100 links = 1 chain (66 feet)
1,000 links = 1 furlong (660 feet)

While the link has largely fallen out of general use, it remains a part of historical surveying practices and is still referenced in some legal and cadastral documents.
