The Mendenhall Order of 1893 defined the yard as exactly meters, with all other units of linear measurement, including the rod, based on the yard.

When you halve the linear measurements on the sensor size, you double the effective focal length of the lens in terms of angle of view.
13.
Miniature transducers, approximately 3 / 8 " diameter, offer high accuracy linear measurement in a compact space where size constraints prohibit the use of standard LVDTI's.

The Louisiana waterthrush is one of the largest species of wood warbler, with only the aberrant yellow-breasted chat averaging larger in mean mass and linear measurements.
15.
In the 1890s, Albert Michelson began conducting experiments in interferometry that led in 1903 to demonstrating the feasibility of using light waves as units of linear measurement.
16.
The linear measurement of a within this square was accomplished by a series of angles and curves as curious as the outline of a South Sea island.
17.
It is used to measure around a solid body, e . g ., a person's waist measurement, as well as linear measurement, e . g ., inside leg.
18.
The thickness is referred to either as " thin " or " thick " and is commonly assessed as a linear measurement of the enamel on worn or naturally fractured teeth.
19.
In the US, the rod, along with the chain, furlong, and statute mile ( as well as the survey inch and survey foot ) are based on the pre-1959 values for United States customary units of linear measurement.
20.
In linear measurements and mean body mass, several subspecies may vie for the title of smallest race, although thus far their reported body masses broadly overlaps with those of the smaller-bodied populations of Eurasian brown and grizzly bears.
