About These Units
About Faden [Switzerland]
The Swiss faden is a traditional unit of length equivalent to the klafter, representing the span of outstretched arms. Used throughout Switzerland for measuring construction materials, rope, depth, and land areas. The faden was particularly important in Alpine regions for measuring timber, stone, and other building materials until the adoption of the metric system.
About Cubit [English]
The cubit is a historic unit of distance frequently mentioned in the Bible. The word comes from the Latin cubitum, "elbow," because the unit represents the length of a mans forearm from his elbow to the tip of his outstretched middle finger. This distance tends to be about 18 inches or roughly 45 centimeters. In ancient times, the cubit was usually defined to equal 24 digits or 6 palms. The Egyptian royal or "long" cubit, however, was equal to 28 digits or 7 palms. In the English system, the digit is conventionally identified as 3/4 inch; this makes the ordinary cubit exactly 18 inches (45.72 centimeters). The Roman cubit was shorter, about 44.4 centimeters (17.5 inches). The ordinary Egyptian cubit was just under 45 centimeters, and most authorities estimate the royal cubit at about 52.35 centimeters (20.61 inches).
