Details for Cable Length (Naval Measurement)
Introduction : The cable length equals approximately 1/10 of a nautical mile (185.2 meters), serving as a practical unit for naval distances and maritime operations. This intermediate measurement was particularly useful for anchor chains and ship spacing.
History & Origin : Originated from the length of a ship's anchor cable in the age of sail. Standardized internationally as exactly 1/10 nautical mile (185.2 m), though the British Admiralty cable was 185.32 m. The US Navy used 219.5 m until 1942.
Current Use : Used for measuring anchor chain lengths (standard shots are 15 cables). Determines spacing between ships in formation steaming. Still appears in some naval communications and historical maritime documents.
Details for Dekameter (European Land Measurement)
Introduction : The dekameter equals ten meters, historically used in some European countries for land measurement and mapping. While largely replaced by hectometers and kilometers today, it persists in certain regional applications and older surveying references.
History & Origin : Part of the original metric system prefixes from 1795. Saw significant use in 19th century European land surveys and agricultural planning. The spelling 'decameter' was officially changed to 'dekameter' in 1960 to avoid confusion with 'deci-' prefix.
Current Use : Still appears in some European topographic maps and agricultural land measurements. Used in a few European countries for road elevation signs. Occasionally appears in hydrological measurements of small water bodies.
