What is a US Furlong?
The US survey furlong (∼201.17 m) was based on the US survey foot. Nearly identical to international furlongs, it was used in land surveys until metric conversion.
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.
