TIDBITS® TAKES

MEASURE

by Janet Spencer On July 14, 1868, Alvin Fellows of Connecticut patented the retractable measuring tape which had a button that would lock the measuring tape in place and allow it to roll up inside the case when released, a design still used today. Fellows’ measuring tape made it easier to measure things, so come along with Tidbits as we look at ways things are measured.

QUICK QUIZ: How many feet in a mile? How many ounces in a gallon? How many acres in a square mile? How much does a quart of water weigh? (Answers at the end of the issue.)

RULE OF THUMB • Long ago, the width of the thumb equaled one inch, a handy measurement for carpenters and tailors. A rule of thumb came to mean any simple method that was based on practicality.

• The Romans decreed the width of the thumb was one inch, and that 12 thumbs equaled one foot-length. The Latin word ‘uncia’ meaning one-twelfth was shortened to ‘unch’ and gave us our inch. An English law decreed the inch should equal the length of 3 barleycorns.

• One Sunday in the year 1120, King Henry I of England lined up the first 12 men leaving church and measured the total length of their feet. He divided that by 12, and called the result the official foot. (cont’d next page)

RULE OF THUMB, cont’d • The Anglo-Saxon word for a man’s waist measurement or girth was ‘gyrd,’ which became our yard. In the 1600s Queen Elizabeth I decreed it should equal the length of her arm.

• The Romans noted that a two-step pace of a marching man was about five feet. 1,000 paces, or 5,000 feet, became their mile, which they called ‘milia passuum’ meaning 1,000 paces.

However, farms in England were measured in furrow-longs, or furlongs, which equaled 660 feet. In 1575 Elizabeth I proclaimed that the mile should henceforth be 5,280 feet, so that it could easily be divided into 8 furlongs.

• The Latin word for pound, ‘libra,’ gave us our abbreviation ‘lb.’ The Italian ounce was called an ‘onzia,’ leaving us with ‘oz.’

• ‘Tun’ was the early Anglo-Saxon word for tub or vat, giving us our ton.

• The short ton is 2,000 lbs. The long ton is 2,240 lbs. The metric ton is 1,000 kilograms, or 2,204.6 lbs. Why is a long ton 2,240 lbs?

Because when London merchants sold 2,000 lbs. of wine, the 8 oak barrels the wine was kept in weighed 30 lbs each, so the total weight of wine and barrels was 2,240 lbs.

MORE MEASUREMENT ORIGINS • The Egyptians called 200 paces a ‘stade.’

Greeks revised it to ‘stadion,’ which became a standard length for Olympic foot races. Today races are held in a stadium.

• An early English system for measuring grains used the ‘measure-full.’ Eight measures equaled a peck, and 16 pecks equaled a ‘hlot.’

Eventually the ‘hlot’ became ‘a lot’, so when you say you have ‘a lot’ of peaches, you’re talking about 16 pecks!

• The tuffet Miss Muffett sat on was used to measure corn.

NAUTICAL MEASUREMENTS A knot is one nautical mile per hour. A nautical mile is 1/60th of 1 degree of the Earth’s surface, or 1.150779 land miles. Ships carried a line wound on a reel. A chip of wood on the end of the line was allowed to drag in the water behind the ship, causing the line to unreel. The line was knotted at intervals of 47’3” and the line was allowed to drag for exactly 28 seconds.

(47’3” are to 1.150779 miles what 28 seconds are to one hour.) If the line unwound to the 5th knot in 28 seconds, the ship was moving at 5 knots per hour.

A fathom (measuring depth) was fingertip to outstretched fingertip, and now equals 6 feet.

The film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea should have been called 20,000 Feet Under the Sea. A league equals 3 miles. 20,000 leagues would equal 60,000 miles, equal to nearly three times around the earth. At no place is the ocean deeper than 36,000 feet.

FULL MEASURE The English adopted this system for measuring liquids: a handful was a jigger, two jiggers were a jack, two jacks were a jill, two jills made a cup, two cups made a pint, two pints made a quart, two quarts made a pottle, two pottles made a gallon, two gallons made a peck, two pecks made a half bushel, two half bushels made a bushel, two bushels made a cask, and two casks made a barrel.

In the 1600s King Charles I lived lavishly and spent the royal treasury. To raise money, he tried to increase taxes paid on liquids.

Parliament vetoed him. So he reduced the size of the jack and jill, while leaving the taxes the same. To get around the tax, people stopped using the jack and jill as measurements, and they made up a rhyme: “Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water / Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.” The crown refers to the English unit of money.

A DISASTER In Baltimore in 1904, a store caught fire. When the fire spread, the fire chief telegrammed to Washington for help. Help arrived in record time and the people of Baltimore cheered as the fire crew got out their hoses—only to find that their hoses would not fit the hydrants. Help came from Philadelphia, New York, Wilmington, Annapolis, and Altoona, but every fire company discovered the same thing— there was water, but no way to make the connection from hose to hydrant. Most of the business district burned down. A subsequent study found that there were 600 different sizes of hoses and hydrants being used in the U.S. at that time. Obviously, there was a need to standardize measurements.

THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT • 300 years ago, the pound was applied to 391 different weights across Europe, and the foot indicated 282 different lengths. Thomas Jefferson, traveling across Europe, found that the mile from country to country could be as short as 3,600 feet or as long as 36,000 feet.

Even today, the U.S. uses two kinds of miles, 56 different bushels, eight types of tons, two pounds, and three different ounces. Corn is sold by the bushel, shipped in tons, and stored in cubic feet. A bushel of wheat does not equal a bushel of potatoes or apples.

• Our measurements evolved by happenstance.

They have no simple formulas, equations, or relationships. For instance, consider the acre.

It’s defined as an area that can be plowed in one day with two oxen. To figure acres, you must multiply the width of the land by the length and divide by 43,460. A one-acre square lot measures 208 ft. 8 in. per side. There are 640 acres in a square mile. Easy to remember?

Easy to calculate? No way! What we need is a system that makes more sense.

• Today more than 25,000 items are covered by national standards, from nuts and bolts to twoby-fours and light bulbs.

C.M.B.L. Corner of Miller & Milgen

VA Awaits New Leader Department of Veterans Affairs chief Eric Shinseki is gone. He resigned after getting caught by the whiplash of the revelation that there were serious problems down the line in the VA, mostly having to do with medical appointments being manipulated, deleted, fudged, canceled, hidden in desk drawers (pick a word), and that veterans died while waiting.

No matter how it turned out, Shinseki was always in our corner. We can never doubt that. If he had a failing, it was that he trusted those down the chain of command to do their jobs well.

We have a new secretary of the VA nominee, who surely will be approved by Congress.

Let’s look at who he is.

Robert “Bob” McDonald, age 61, West Point grad, former Army captain, 82nd Airborne, son of a World War II veteran, 33 years with Procter and Gamble, the soap company. His years at P&G weren’t all rosy, but that’s to be expected with a responsibility that large (the company has over 100,000

employees), especially with a recession tightening all our wallets.

A few things come up as red flags: Fact 1: In the end he was run out, forced to “step down” from P&G after four years as head of the company.

Fact 2: From 1989 to 2004, he climbed P&G’s global corporate ladder in Toronto, the Philippines, Japan and Brussels. Which means he didn’t have his finger on the pulse of American veterans, or even Americans for all those years.

Fact 3: No health-care experience.

McDonald might have a rough start. Still, Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson is paving the way by meeting with the Special Counsel about whistleblower protection and directing all VA medical center leadership to meet monthly with local medical partners and Veterans Service Organizations.

Freddy Groves regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Send email to columnreply2@gmail.com. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
