What is the finger (cloth) unit?

The finger (cloth) is a traditional, non-standard measure representing the breadth of a human finger, used mainly in tailoring and informal textile measurements.

What does the Roman mile represent?

The Roman mile denotes an ancient length unit equaling 1,000 double steps or about 1,480 meters, used for measuring distances on Roman roads and in military surveying.

Is this conversion precise for engineering?

No, due to the variability of finger (cloth) and approximate nature of the Roman mile, the conversion is intended for historical, textile, and illustrative contexts rather than precision engineering.
