- Line_(unit) abstract "The line is a unit of measurement, one line being equal to 1⁄12 of an English (prior to 1824) inch. It was defined as one-quarter of a barleycorn, which defined the inch even before 1066. The French (prior to 1799) ligne was similarly defined as 1⁄12 of the pouce (meaning "thumb", about an inch). Since the French pouce or inch was about 6% longer than the English inch, the "line" was similarly longer. The Russian liniya was defined as 1⁄10 of the diuym (inch) from the 16th to the early 20th century; the diuym itself was redefined as exactly an English inch by Peter the Great. The German linieis described in the article German units of measurement as "usually 1⁄12 inch, but also 1⁄10". Since the Russian military and German manufacturing were major factors in arms procurement, the "1⁄10-inch line" became common terminology concerning weapons.[citation needed]The button trade also used the term, but defined it as being 40 lines to the inch. Botanists have used the unit to measure the size of plant parts and also defined it as being 12 lines to the inch.".
