About these units
Microinch (µin)
A microinch is one-millionth of an inch, approximately 2.54 × 10⁻⁸ meters. It is a precision unit used primarily in engineering, machining, and electronics. Microinches allow engineers to describe tolerances, surface roughness, and component dimensions with extreme accuracy. This is especially relevant in semiconductor manufacturing and microelectronics, where deviations of just a few microinches can impact performance. Although rarely encountered outside technical fields, the microinch demonstrates the need for highly granular units in modern technology, bridging the gap between traditional inches and nanometer-scale measurements.
League (Statute) (st.league)
The statute league was historically defined as 3 statute miles (~4.828 km). It originated as a measure of distance a person could travel on foot in about an hour. Leagues were widely used in exploration, mapping, and maritime navigation prior to the universal adoption of standardized miles and kilometers. They also appear extensively in literature, conveying narrative distances in a way more relatable to the human scale. Though obsolete in modern usage, the statute league provides cultural and historical context for maps, journals, and records from the 16th through 19th centuries.
