Room foot
The room foot was a length measure in the Electorate of Trier and only one of three foot measures that were used in parallel. These dimensions were valid before the introduction of the Prussian. In Aachen it was the second name for the building foot, 6 of which were counted on the fathoms and which was 0.2886 meters long.
- 1 foot = 135.25 Paris lines = 0.3051 meters
The smaller dimensions were the room inch and the room line. All three dimensions were subject to the duodecimal division.
For comparison the other two foot measurements:
- 1 foot of forest = 137.39 Paris lines = 0.3099 meters
- 1 plant or land foot = 12 inches = 144 lines = 130.22 Parisian lines = 0.29375 meters
