About Fathom (ftm)

Traditionally equal to 6 feet (1.8288 meters), the fathom originated as the span of a sailor's outstretched arms and has been used for centuries to measure water depth. Nautical charts and depth soundings still reference fathoms in many maritime traditions, and Mark Twain's pen name came from the riverboat call 'mark twain' meaning two fathoms.

About Rod (rd)

Also known as a perch or pole, the rod equals 16.5 feet (5.0292 meters) and was historically the standard length of an ox goad.
