Russian Archin

The archin (also spelled arshin) is a traditional Russian unit of length that was widely used before the adoption of the metric system. It is approximately equal to 28 inches or 0.7112 meters.

The archin was commonly used in measuring cloth, land, and building dimensions in Russia and neighboring regions. It roughly corresponds to the length of a forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, similar to the cubit.

Though obsolete today, the archin remains an important part of Russian historical measurements and appears in older legal and trade documents.

Used historically in Russia for textiles and land measurement

Furlong

A furlong is a traditional unit of distance used primarily in agriculture and horse racing. It is equal to 220 yards, 660 feet, or 1/8 of a mile (approximately 201.168 meters).

The word "furlong" comes from the Old English words furh (furrow) and lang (long), originally referring to the length of a furrow in a 10-acre field. It was historically used in England to measure field lengths for plowing.

In modern times, the furlong is rarely used outside of horse racing, where race distances are still often given in furlongs, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Conversions:

1 furlong = 660 feet
1 furlong = 220 yards
1 furlong ≈ 201.168 meters
