About these units
Ell (ell)
The ell is a traditional European unit of length, varying between 45–70 cm depending on the region. It originated from the forearm or arm length and became standardized in many countries for measuring cloth and textiles. In commerce, the ell simplified transactions, allowing merchants to describe fabric lengths efficiently. In tailoring, it offered a consistent basis for cutting and patterning clothing. The unit was essential in guild systems, where precision and repeatability in textile production were critical. While largely obsolete today due to the metric system, the ell remains significant for historians, textile scholars, and anyone studying pre-modern European commerce and craft practices.
Foot (US Survey) (ft (US))
The US Survey Foot is a standardized version of the foot, defined as exactly 1200/3937 meters (~0.30480061 m). It was adopted to maintain continuity with older surveying records when converting to the metric system. Surveyors, engineers, and geographers in the United States used this unit for mapping, cadastral surveys, and infrastructure projects. Its slight difference from the international foot allows historical survey data to align accurately with modern geodetic coordinates. Although the international foot is now more common, the US survey foot remains relevant for interpreting historical survey data and legal property boundaries.
