for Czech folk culture, however, the length measurements used in the 17th - 19th centuries, i.e. the so-called Czech and Olomouc or Vienna metrological systems, are of the greatest importance. These were: the comma (0.002 m), inch (0.025 m), foot (0.296 m), cubit (which had 24 inches, 0.5914 m), fathom (3 cubits, 1.774 m), latro (4 cubits, 2.366 m), rod (2 cloths, 4.731 m), rope (52 cubits, 30.753 m) and mile (365 ropes, 11,224.772 m)."
