Unit Definition (arms-length)
An Arms length is standardized as a unit of distance equal to approximately 70 centimeters, or 28 inches. An arms length is the same as the modern Italian Braccio and very similar to the Turkish Pik.

Unit Definition (iron)
The iron is a traditional unit measuring the thickness of leather used in making shoes, especially the soles of the shoes. One iron is equal to 1/48 inch (0.5292 millimeter), so a sole 1/4 inch thick is described as "12 iron".
