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.

ell

An ell is a unit of length used historically in textiles and other measurements. One ell is equivalent to approximately 45 inches or 1.143 meters.

The ell was originally based on the length of a person's arm or the length of a specific type of cloth, and its definition varied between regions and periods. The unit was commonly used in the textile industry for measuring fabric lengths.

Ells are less commonly used today but remain of historical interest in the study of historical measurements and practices, particularly in textiles and historical trade.
