About Yard (yd)

Defined as exactly 0.9144 meters since 1959, the yard is central to American football field markings, fabric sales, and landscaping measurements in the US and UK. Legend attributes its origin to the distance from King Henry I's nose to the tip of his outstretched thumb, though the modern definition is tied to the meter.

About Chain (ch)

The surveyor's chain, devised by Edmund Gunter in 1620, measures exactly 66 feet (20.1168 meters) and consists of 100 links. Ten chains make a furlong, and an acre is defined as one chain by one furlong.
