Units explained
Kiloyard
A kiloyard is an Imperial unit of length equal to 1,000 yards (914.4 m). It is rarely used in everyday measurement but appears in some technical and military contexts.
The kiloyard combines the metric-style prefix kilo- (Greek chilioi, thousand) with the yard. Standardised via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
Kiloyards appear in some artillery and military range specifications, sport-shooting long-range competitions, and certain industrial applications. Less common than the mile for most distances.
Modern usage; standardised through the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
Finger
A finger is an Imperial unit of length equal to 4.5 inches (114.3 mm). It is one of the historical English cloth-measure units.
The finger derives from English cloth-trade tradition, where it was used as a small measure for ribbons and small fabric pieces. Standardised at 4.5 inches through English customary practice.
Fingers are rare in modern use; they appear primarily in historical English textile records and bartending (where 'a finger of whisky' is an informal usage roughly 1 inch, not 4.5).
Medieval English cloth-trade origin; standardised at 4.5 inches; the value became exact via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
