I looked it up on Google books, on page 14 it handily has a conversion chart, I've typed it out here.
2 1/4 inches (5.715 cm) make 1 nail 4 nails = 1 quarter (9 inches, 22.86 cm) 4 quarters = 1 yard (36) 5 quarters = 1 English ell 6 quarters = 1 French ell I would say that the 3/4's on figure 11 stands for 3/4s of a nail - Marion _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
