Chain (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey chain is a unit of length equal to 66 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey chain is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was slightly different from the international foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey chain was used for land surveying in the United States.
Hectometer
A hectometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "hecto-" from the Greek "hekaton" meaning hundred, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The hectometer is not a widely used unit of length in English-speaking countries. It is sometimes used in surveying and for marking distances on highways in some countries.
