What is an inch used for?

An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems used to measure short distances, such as mechanical parts, screen sizes, and furniture dimensions.

Why is the long reed considered obsolete?

The long reed is an outdated length unit that varied historically by region and is now replaced by modern SI or customary units in scientific and engineering contexts.

How accurate are conversions between inches and long reeds?

Conversions provide approximate values since the long reed’s magnitude changed with locality and era; exact accuracy depends on historical context.
