About these units
Nail (Cloth) (nail)
The nail is another small unit in cloth measurement, roughly 2.1 cm (0.83 inches), sometimes used interchangeably with the finger in English tailoring. The nail allowed fine precision in textile cutting, marking, and assembly. Its practical relevance lay in breaking down larger units like the yard or ell into smaller, manageable increments suitable for artisans. Though obsolete in modern industry, the nail continues to appear in historical accounts, tailoring manuals, and legal documents concerning cloth trade in England.
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.
