Man chair

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A man chair , Manstuedl , Manstüdl and Manstiedl , was a name for a measure of wood in Styria and can be counted among the strongly colored dialect names and was only used regionally. The basis was the Reichenhaller or the Traunsteiner fathoms . The fathom here is a measure of volume. The measure under the name Manstuedl has already been mentioned on August 29, 1591 in a contract between Duke Wilhelm of Bavaria and Archbishop Wolf Dietrich of Salzburg "on the hacking of 200 pounds of Manstuedl wood".

  • 1 man chair = 2 fathoms (Viennese)
  • 1 "Schilling wood" = 30 man chairs (Manstüdl)
  • 1 “pound of wood” = 240 man chairs = 120 Reichenhaller or Traunsteiner fathoms
  • 2 pounds of wood = 480 man chairs = 960–1000 fathoms (labeled "thousand wood")

Another measure of cordwood was "the yards / throat" or the "Griesbeil".

  • 1 yard = 4 Rachel = 6 "Warben" (Warb / Parb / Barb)
  • 1 "Warbe" = ⅔ fathom wood
  • 15 yards / throat = 60 Rachel
  • 1 “wood pan” for simmering salt = 90 warben

One differentiated

  • 1 "large pan", the open wood, the twisting rings (triples / twisting rings) 6 ½ feet in length

and

  • 1 "small pan" 3 ½ feet long
