Chandler's cubit
The Krämer cubit was an old German measure of length and was mainly used in Augsburg .
It was also called the large cubit and differed from the small cubit or farshent and linen cubit by around 2 centimeters .
- 1 Krämer cubit = 0.60637 meters = 268.8 (270 ⅕) Parisian lines = 0.72793 Bavarian cubits
- 1 barchent and linen cubit = 0.58652 meters = 260 (262 ⅗) Parisian lines = 0.70410 Bavarian cubits
When comparing were
- 11 large cubits = 8 Bavarian cubits
- 10 small cubits = 7 Bavarian cubits
The old Kramer-Elle in France was as long as the Frankfurt staff and had 524 Paris lines . This made it a little smaller than the old Elle, marked Aune (1.1884 meters), which was 526 ⅚ Parisian lines long. 1 Parisian Krämer-Elle was 1.182 meters.
