The long reed is a traditional, now obsolete, unit of length historically used for land measurement, with variations depending on region and period.

What does microinch measure?

A microinch is one millionth of an inch, used to express very fine linear distances like surface finishes and coating thicknesses.

Why convert long reed to microinch?

Converting long reed to microinch helps translate legacy measurements into modern precise units for engineering, manufacturing, or restoration where tight tolerances matter.
