100 Aln converts to about 0.29516512 Furlong [fur].

Common Use Cases

Translating measurements from historical Scandinavian textile trade documents.
Interpreting old architectural and land measurement records from Sweden, Norway, or Denmark.
Converting lengths for horse racing distance descriptions that use furlongs.
Analyzing old cadastral maps and legal land records involving different length units.
Comparing traditional Scandinavian units with historical imperial lengths.

Tips & Best Practices

Identify the exact aln standard applicable to your source material due to historical variations.
Use the tool primarily for historical, traditional, or sporting measurement contexts.
Check the conversion closely when working with precise legal or cadastral documents.
Combine with additional historical research for better interpretation of old records.
Remember furlong usage is uncommon in modern scientific or engineering fields.

Limitations

The aln unit varied historically by region and time, so exact length may require context-specific identification.
Furlong is rarely used outside traditional or historical contexts nowadays, limiting scientific application.
This tool does not account for regional aln length variations beyond the common approximate definition.
Not suitable for modern engineering or precise scientific measurements.
Conversion is approximate due to historical unit variability.
