end up
The end was a thread measure in Breslau and was based on the Prussian measures . These were valid from January 1, 1872 and were decided on August 17, 1868. The Breslau yardstick did not correspond to the Silesian yardstick.
The end was measured by a cross reel - a wooden stick with crutches on both sides - which was used here instead of the rotary reel . When the yarn was wound up (whistled), a number of ends that differed from region to region was tied or tied to form a bundle (hence the name “bundle”). A certain number of bundles ultimately formed the finished strand of yarn . One end is approximately four times the length of the rod used.
- 1 Wroclaw yard ≈ 255.3 Paris lines ≈ 0.576 meters
- 1 cubit (Prussian) = 295.65125 Paris lines ≈ 0.66694 meters
- 1 ends = 4 Breslau cubits ≈ 3.455 cubits (Preuss.) ≈ 2.304 meters
- 1 bundle = 20 ends (thread)
- 1 zaspel = 20 bundles = 400 ends
- 1 strand = 4 braids = 80 bundles = 1600 ends
- 1 piece (thread size) = 3 strands = 12 braids = 240 bundles = 4800 ends = 19200 Breslau cubits.
