Unit Definition (braccio [Italy])
The Braccio is a traditional Italian measurement of length. The word means "arm", and a Braccio is approximately equal to the length of a man's arm, about 27 or 28 inches (68-71 centimeters). In modern times, the Braccio has become an informal metric unit of exactly 70 centimeters (about 27.56 inches), which is the same as the Arm Length unit.

Unit Definition (digit)
The digit is a historic unit of distance equal to the width of a person's finger. Used in all the ancient civilizations of the Middle East and Mediterranean, the digit was equal to 0.75 inch or 19 millimeters with only the smallest variations. Typically, there were 4 digits in a palm, 16 in a foot, and 24 (sometimes 28) in a cubit. The word digit is from the Latin word for a finger or toe, digitus.
