Works with 15 mm miniatures where a 6 foot man would equal 15.24 mm 1:110: 2.771 mm Used for some model ships, aircraft and diecast cars. 1:108: 2.822 mm An historic size for ships, also used for rockets and spacecraft. 15 mm figure scale for wargaming is considered interchangeable with this scale.

Using 32 mm (1.26 in) - 0 gauge - track, there is an extensive range of 16 mm to the foot scale [1:19] live-steam and other types of locomotives, rolling stock and accessories. Many of these models are dual gauge, and can be converted to run on 45 mm (1.772 in) track , and radio control is common.
The foot of an adult European-American male is typically about 15.3% of his height, [10] giving a person of 175 cm (5 ft 9 in) a foot-length of about 268 mm (10.6 in), on average. Archaeologists believe that, in the past, the people of Egypt , India , and Mesopotamia preferred the cubit , while the people of Rome , Greece , and China preferred ...

Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity.
The base unit is Gunter's chain of 66 feet (20 m) which is subdivided into 4 rods, each of 16.5 ft or 100 links of 0.66 feet. A link is abbreviated "lk", and links "lks", in old deeds and land surveys done for the government.
[dubious – discuss] However, it retained the Anglo-Saxon rod of 15 x 11 ⁄ 10 feet (5.03 metres) and the acre of 4 × 40 square rods. Thus, the rod went from 5 old yards to 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 new yards, or 15 old feet to 16 + 1 ⁄ 2 new feet. The furlong went from 600 old feet (200 old yards) to 660 new feet (220 new yards).
The femtometre (SI symbol: fm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −15 metres. In particle physics , this unit is sometimes called a fermi , also with abbreviation "fm". To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −15 meters and 10 −14 meters (1 femtometer and 10 fm).
