Furlongs

A furlong is a unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems of measurement. It is primarily used in the context of horse racing and is equal to 1/8th of a mile. One furlong is approximately 660 feet or 201.168 meters. While the use of furlongs is not as widespread in everyday measurements, it remains a common unit in horse racing, where race distances are often expressed in furlongs. The term has historical origins, dating back to the medieval period, and it has persisted in certain specialized fields.

Chains

A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet or 22 yards. It has historical significance and was widely used in the past for measuring large plots of land, especially in agriculture and real estate. The chain was often employed alongside other traditional units of length, such as rods and links. The use of chains has diminished in modern times, replaced by the metric system or other standard units of measurement. However, in some historical contexts or when dealing with older land survey records, you may still encounter references to measurements in chains.
