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.
Perch
A perch is an Imperial unit of length identical to the rod — 16.5 feet (about 5.03 m). The names 'rod', 'perch', and 'pole' all refer to the same surveying unit and differ only by regional preference.
Like the rod, the perch derives from medieval English land-surveying. The name 'perch' was particularly common in legal land descriptions in Ireland and parts of the UK.
Perches appear in legacy land descriptions in Ireland, the UK, and historical US documents. Modern usage is rare.
Medieval English surveying origin; identical to the rod since 1620; became exact via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
