About these units
Furlong (US Survey) (fur (US))
The US Survey Furlong is defined as 660 US Survey Feet (~201.168 meters), exactly 10 US survey chains. It was historically used in land measurement, agriculture, and railroads. Furlongs remain relevant for interpreting historical property layouts and land grants, particularly in rural and agricultural contexts. The unit's convenience derives from its direct relationship with the acre and chain, facilitating rapid calculation of large land areas. While the furlong is largely obsolete in modern measurement, it persists in legal and historical survey references, bridging imperial traditions and contemporary land-use documentation.
Twip (twip)
A twip is a twentieth of a point, equal to 1/1440 of an inch. This extremely small unit originated in computer typography, particularly in early word processors and GUI layout systems developed by Microsoft and Apple. Because digital screens and software-based layout engines require highly precise internal measurements, twips allowed consistent and resolution-independent positioning of graphical objects and text. Even when the actual pixel density of displays varied, twips provided a device-agnostic coordinate system. Twips remain particularly relevant in Microsoft technologies such as Visual Basic, Windows API interfaces, and the formatting of Office documents. Although ordinary users rarely encounter the term, twips form part of the invisible numerical infrastructure that ensures consistent layout across different computers, printers, and operating systems.
