And an inch is 3 barleycorns, and a barleycorn weighs 1 grain and there are 7000 grains to the pound. Imperial units make so much sense! Note: I have found a couple of base 10 comparison - a link is 7.92" meaning there are 100 links in a chain chain is (66'). Then there are 10 chains to a furlong. Therefore an acre is 1 chain by 1 furlong, 1 chain by 10 chains, on 100 links by 1000 links.
