What is a Furlong?
A furlong (220 yards or 201.168 m) originated as an ox-plowing furrow length. Still used in horse racing (1/8 mile) and some agricultural contexts, it was fundamental to the English acre definition.
What is a Cloth Span?
A span represented 9 inches (22.86 cm), the distance between thumb and little finger when spread. Medieval cloth merchants used this measurement, with 2 spans making 1 cubit. The term survives in 'spanner' tools adjusting span-width nuts.
