About El [Dutch]

The Dutch el is a traditional arm's length measure commonly used in the Netherlands before the adoption of the metric system in 1820. The average length of a Dutch el was between 68-70 centimeters. Like other European ells, it was primarily used for measuring cloth and textiles, representing the distance from the elbow to the fingertips.

About Shaftment

A shaftment, when used as a unit of length, is usually six inches or two palms, i.e. 15.24 cm (for the international inch). It is thought to be the distance from the tip of the outstretched thumb to the other side of the palm.In English this unit has mostly fallen out of use, as do others based on the human arm: digit (1/8 shaftment), finger (7/48 shaftment), palm (½ shaftment) hand (2/3 shaftment), span (1½ shaftments), cubit (3 shaftments) and ell (7½ shaftments).
