Wall rod
The wall rod , also known as stone rod , according to other sources the manhole rod , was a measure of volume in construction (masonry and paving). It was the 16th part of a cubic rod . The measure was in use around Trier , the former capital of the Prussian administrative district of the Rhine Province . The binding duodecimally divided land and plant base was 130.22 Parisian lines or 0.29375 meters long. This rod was the land and work rod with 16 but decimally divided feet.
- 1 wall rod = 16 feet long by 4 feet wide by 8 feet high = 512 cubic feet ≈ 12.978 cubic meters (→ 1 rod x ¼ rod x ½ rod)
In Aschaffenburg a distinction was made between five different rods. From October 1, 1811, these rods were no longer valid.
- 1 small wall rod = 144 cubic feet
- 1 stone rod = 288 cubic feet
- 1 Chaussee stone rod = 576 cubic feet
- 1 large wall rod = 512 cubic feet
- 1 ground rod = 256 cubic feet
Note
According to various sources, the wall rod was not a real rod measure. It was just a measure of size for determining the volume of a wall or excavated soil.
- 1 wall rod = 16 feet in length by 16 feet in height by 1 foot in width = 512 cubic feet ≈ 12,978 cubic meters
