Details for Twip (Precision Typography)
Introduction : The twip equals 1/20 of a point (1/1440 inch or 17.64 µm), providing ultra-precise typographic control. This tiny unit enables fine positioning in digital document formats and graphic design applications.
History & Origin : Developed for Microsoft Windows as 'twentieth of a point' (TWentieth of an Imperial Point). Used internally in Windows API since version 1.0 (1985) for device-independent measurements.
Current Use : Used in Word documents for precise object placement. Common in vector graphics file formats. 1440 twips = 1 inch in Windows systems. Enables WYSIWYG display across resolutions.
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.
