Measurement of length using standard units. The principal early standards of length were the palm or hand breadth, the foot, and the cubit, which is the length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. Such standards were both changeable and perishable, and only within modern times have definite unchanging standards of measurement been adopted.
