A square rod (US survey) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one rod (16.5 feet) each, used primarily in land measurement.
History/Origin
The square rod originated from the traditional land measurement system in the United States, particularly in surveying and real estate, where the rod was a common unit of length. It has been used historically for measuring plots of land, especially in rural and agricultural contexts.
Current Use
Today, the square rod (US survey) is largely obsolete and replaced by more modern units like acres. However, it may still be encountered in historical land records and surveying documents.
Sabin
The sabin is a unit of luminous intensity used to measure the brightness of light sources, specifically in photometry.
History/Origin
Named after the French physiologist Charles-Édouard Guillaume, the sabin was introduced in the early 20th century as a unit to quantify luminous intensity, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts related to light measurement.
Current Use
The sabin is rarely used today; it has been largely replaced by the candela in the International System of Units (SI). However, it may still appear in historical data or specialized fields related to light measurement.
