Unit Definition (furlong [survey])
A furlong is a measure of distance within Imperial units and U.S. customary units. Although its definition has varied historically, in modern terms it equals 660 feet or 220 yards, and is therefore equal to 201.168 metres. There are ten chains in a furlong and eight furlongs in a mile. The name "furlong" derives from the Old English words furh (furrow) and lang (long).

Unit Definition (arpent [France])
The Arpent is a traditional unit of distance in French-speaking nations. It was used as a land measurement, which is the reason for 'Arpentage' becomming the French word for surveying. It has an official definition of 191.835 English feet (58.471308 meters).
