A kiloyard is a unit of length equal to 1,000 yards, which is approximately 914.4 meters, used to express large yard-based distances.

Why is the long reed considered a legacy unit?

The long reed is a traditional measurement unit with varying regional definitions, making it obsolete and primarily used for interpreting historical land and surveying records.

Can this tool be used for precise engineering measurements?

No, due to the variability of the long reed, the conversion is approximate and not recommended for precise engineering or scientific work.
