What is a Russian archin?

The Russian archin is an outdated unit of length formerly used in Russia, equivalent to about 0.7112 meters or 28 English inches.

Why does the long reed unit vary?

The long reed was a local measurement whose exact length changed depending on the geographical area and historical period.

Can I use this conversion for modern engineering?

Because both units are obsolete, it's best to convert first to modern units like the meter for engineering purposes.
