There is also ‘measured drop’ developed by English hangman Thomas Marwood in the 1800s, which customised the drop according to age, height and build, used in Britain until 1964. Singapore and a couple of other former British colonies still use this method using the old 1911 Home Office league table of drops...

Yeah. I think that this is the same thing as the long drop, though.
