A reed is an obsolete or regional unit of length historically varying by locality, generally based on the length of a reed plant or measuring rod.

Why convert reed into microinch?

Converting reed to microinch allows translating archaic measurements into extremely fine modern units, useful in precision engineering and historical research.

Is the conversion exact for all reeds?

No, because the reed measurement varied historically and regionally, the conversion's absolute accuracy can be limited.
