Hi All,

Just to add to Greq's comment... (and to head down a little rabbit hole) I would echo his suggestion that a link is closer to 0.201, over 100m distance, that's 0.100 (over half a chain) or for 1km, that's 1.1m...it adds up!

To allay any fears over units and Imperial vs US vs metric units, the Gunter chain is standardised, same in US as Europe 66ft long with 100 links.

The Image attached, is something I have in my little collection, it's a picture of a Surveyors Chain checker/calibrator. What you can see in the picture is one side with the "Standardised Measure"  5 Links, measuring 1.007m (approx.) which is 0.201m per link.

Never thought I would have a use for this!!

Kind Regards,

Richard
