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 (yard)
The yard is a fundamental unit of length in both the U.S. Customary System and the British Imperial System. Originally taken to be the average length of a stride, the yard is actually equal to 3 feet; defined as 91.44 centimeters.
