How many rods and furlongs is that?

One rod equals 11 cubits.

And 11 cubits equals one Perch.

While one Perch equals one one Pole.

So one Pole equals one Perch but also equals 198 Kings Thumbs.

However four Poles still equals only one Chain.

And 198 Kings Thumbs equals one Rod, but not Fur-long.

OTH, a Connecticut Bushel only holds 28 pounds of oats but a New Jersey Bushel holds a full 32 pounds of oats .

Hopefully that clears up any remaining questions you might have about weights and measurements.
