The recent formula used by the Brannock device assumes a foot length of 2 barleycorns less than the length of the last; thus, men's size 1 is equivalent to a last's length of 8 + 1 ⁄ 3 in (21.17 cm) and foot's length of 7 + 2 ⁄ 3 in (19.47 cm), and children's size 1 is equivalent to 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (10.8 cm) last's length and 3 + 7 ⁄ 12 in ...
Under the Harappan linear measures, Indus cities during the Bronze Age used a foot of 13.2 inches (335 mm) and a cubit of 20.8 inches (528 mm). [11] The Egyptian equivalent of the foot—a measure of four palms or 16 digits—was known as the djeser and has been reconstructed as about 30 cm (11.8 in).
As modern studies show, the actual length of a kernel of barley varies from as short as 0.16–0.28 in (4–7 mm) to as long as 0.47–0.59 in (12–15 mm) depending on the cultivar. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Older sources claimed the average length of a grain of barley was 0.345 in (8.8 mm), while that of a grain of " big " was 0.3245 in (8.24 mm).
