What is a rod?
A rod is 16.5 feet, or 5.5 yards. It is an old surveying unit, and four rods make one chain.
Rods were used to lay out fields and town lots in Britain and early America, which is why some property lines and old deeds still describe distances in rods.
In writing, the rod is usually shortened to "rd". One rod is 5.0292 meters, and that ratio is what every figure on this page is built from.
