Link (US Survey) as a Unit of Length
A link is a unit of length that is primarily used in the context of land surveying. It is defined as one of the smaller divisions of a chain, specifically 1/100 of a survey chain, which equals approximately 0.66 feet or 20.1168 centimeters. The link is not commonly used in everyday measurements but holds significance in the surveying profession, where precision in land measurement is crucial.
In the US survey system, a chain consists of 100 links, making it easier for surveyors to measure larger distances in manageable increments. The use of links allows for detailed documentation and calculations in mapping and land plotting. While the link may not be widely recognized outside surveying, its historical importance remains, reflecting the evolution of measurement systems in the United States.
