Dоn’t hаve а meаsuring tape? Wоrry nоt! Some cultures have measured distances using their hands as shown in the diagram below. The palm (3 below) was originally the width of the palm. The related shaftment (1 below) and hand (2 below) were the width of the palm plus an open or closed thumb. The other units are the span (4 below) and finger (5 below). Is the palm a precise unit of measurement if the same person is doing the measurement with their right hand every time?
