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.

Summary:

1 archin ≈ 28 inches (0.7112 meters)
Used historically in Russia for textiles and land measurement
Based on the length of the forearm
Mostly of historical and cultural interest today

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.
