About These Units
About Bamboo
The bamboo is a traditional Asian unit of length based on the distance between nodes on a bamboo stem. This natural measurement was commonly used in China, Japan, and other Asian countries where bamboo grows naturally. The bamboo unit was often used in construction, crafts, and agricultural measurements where bamboo materials were readily available.
About Shackle
The shackle is a traditional unit of length used for measuring the lengths of nautical cables and chains, especially anchor chains. Anchor chains are formed by using shackles to join short lengths of chain. When the anchor is dropped and the chain runs out, a seaman counting the number of shackles can report the total length of chain deployed. The size of the unit therefore varied somewhat, depending on the length of the short chains used. In Britain, the unit became standardized in the 16th century at 12.5 fathoms (75 feet or 22.86 meters). In 1949, the Royal Navy adopted a length of 15 fathoms, which is 90 feet or 27.432 meters; this brought the British shackle in line with the U.S. unit, which is usually called the shot.
