What does caliber [cl] measure?

Caliber [cl] primarily denotes the internal diameter of a gun barrel or a dimensionless multiple representing barrel length relative to bore diameter.

What is a cubit (UK)?

Cubit (UK) is a historical length based on the forearm, roughly 18 inches, used mainly in archaeological and historical contexts.

Can this tool be used for precise length measurements?

Since cubit (UK) units vary historically and caliber [cl] can be context-dependent, this tool is best for interpretive and comparative uses, not precise measurements.
