What is a link (US survey)?

A link (US survey) is a historic unit of length equal to 1/100 of a Gunter's chain, used mainly in US land surveying.

What is a Greek cubit?

The Greek cubit is an ancient length unit based on the forearm from elbow to middle finger, commonly about 0.45 to 0.47 meters.

Why convert link (US survey) to cubit (Greek)?

To interpret and compare historical land survey data with ancient measurements in archaeological and restoration work.

Can this conversion be precise?

Due to historical variations and differences in measurement standards, conversions should be seen as approximate.
