Each rod+ring unit is 1 link (7.92 inches), making a total chain length of approx 65.5 feet, the length of a cricket pitch.

I purchased a Gunter’s chain from another vendor that was okay but 1.5 ft short (this one is .5 ft short; expected since it’s 20 m instead of 22 yds). I did make new brass tallies; this one had sheet metal ones that had rusted. It will work well for historic surveying demonstrations.

Survey Chain arrived as promised within the stated time line. It is a new replica of the old technology for surveying practices. This perfect for my classroom demos and the basis for the PPLS system. It’s a great visual aid with the proper link markings.
