Handbreadth

A handbreadth is a historical unit of length used to measure small distances, typically based on the width of a hand. One handbreadth is approximately equivalent to 4 inches or about 0.1016 meters.

The handbreadth is defined as the width of a person's hand, measured from the edge of the thumb to the edge of the little finger when the hand is spread out. This unit was used for practical measurements in various contexts, including textiles and construction.

Handbreadths were used in historical measurement systems for assessing lengths and dimensions where precise tools were not available. Although less common today, the unit provides historical context for traditional measurement practices and everyday use in different cultures.

Point

A point is a unit of length used primarily in typography and printing. One point is equivalent to 1/72 of an inch or approximately 0.3528 millimeters.

The point is defined as a standard unit of measurement for font sizes, line spacing, and other typographic elements in printed materials.

Points are widely used in the printing and graphic design industries to specify the size of type, spacing, and other design elements. The unit ensures precision and consistency in the presentation of text and graphics.
