Details for Point (Typography)
Introduction : The point equals 1/72 inch (0.353 mm), the standard unit for font sizes and typographic measurements. This precise unit allows consistent text reproduction across printing technologies and digital displays.
History & Origin : Originated in 18th century French typography as 1/72 of a French inch. The PostScript point (1/72 Inch) became standard in digital publishing. Traditional printers used slightly larger points (≈0.376 mm).
Current Use : Standard for font sizes (12pt = standard body text). Used in page layout margins and leading. CSS uses points for print stylesheets. 72 points = 1 inch in digital design.
Details for Chain (Survey Measurement)
Introduction : The chain equals 66 feet or 4 rods, developed as a practical surveying tool that could be physically carried across terrain. This unit remains surprisingly relevant in modern surveying and certain transportation systems due to its historical entrenchment.
History & Origin : Invented by English mathematician Edmund Gunter in 1620 as a physical chain of 100 links. Became fundamental to the rectangular survey system that mapped much of North America. The length was ideally suited for field measurement.
Current Use : Still used in US/UK railway surveys and property boundaries. A mile equals 80 chains, explaining why US railroad mileposts are 1 chain apart. Appears in some agricultural land measurements and mining claims.
