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.

Vara Conuquera

The vara conuquera is a traditional Spanish unit of length used historically in some parts of Spain and Spanish America, especially in land measurement. It is a regional variation of the vara, which generally measures around 33 inches (about 0.84 meters), but the vara conuquera specifically is associated with the unit used for measuring conucos—small agricultural plots or gardens.

The length of the vara conuquera could vary locally but was typically similar to or a fraction of the standard vara. It was used primarily in rural land surveying and agriculture to define plots and land boundaries.
