Metric Measurement (Length) - CHSD

There are, for example, many units in which distance can be measured in the Customary system, but they bear no logical relationship to each other: 1 statute mile = 0.8688 nautical miles = 1,760 yards = 320 rods = 8 furlongs =5280 feet = 63360 inches = 880 fathoms = 15840 hands. Many English units are specific to certain professions or trades. ................
