 74.1196 Imp. feet, divided into 100 links, each 8.894352 inches. 

 Some land measurers, reckoning the Scotch ell at 37 inches, 

 used a chain of 74 Imp. feet, divided into 100 links, each 8.88

The Scotch acre is to the Imperial as 1.261183449 is to 1, or 

 as 1 to .79290606, or very nearly as 874 to 693. When the 

 chain is reckoned to be 74 feet, the acre will contain 6084J 

 yards, and is to the Imperial acre as 1.25711662 is to 1 ; when 

 it is reckoned to be 74-^ feet, the acre will contain 6150^
