About these units
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.
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.
