About These Units

About Smoot

A smoot is a unit of distance (or "length", as physical scientists say) used for measuring the Harvard Bridge. It is named after an MIT fraternity pledge at Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, Oliver R. Smoot (class of 1962), who in October, 1958 was rolled head over heels by his fraternity brothers to measure the length of the bridge. The smoot is equal to his height (five feet and seven inches -- 1.70 m), and the bridges length was measured to be "364.4 smoots plus one ear".

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.
