Unit Definition (cape foot)
The cape foot is a traditional unit of length in South Africa. The Cape foot equals 12.396 English inches, 1.0330 English foot, or 31.4858 centimeters. This unit is not the traditional Dutch foot, but it is similar in length to the "Rhine foot" of northern Germany. The Cape foot was widely used for land measurement and appears on many deeds in South Africa. Europeans often referred to South Africa as "The Cape," meaning the Cape of Good Hope.

Unit Definition (microinch)
The microinch is a common imperial unit of distance equal to one millionth of an inch, or 25.4 nanometers (nm). The microinch is used for precise machining tolerances and also to describe the roughness of surfaces.
