Seventeenth Century

Joseph Moxon, Mechanick Exercises on the Whole Art of Printing, edited by Herbert Davis and Harry Carter. 2nd ed. (London: Oxford University Press, 1962). Regrettably, the reproduction of his "Prove" is not an exact size facsimile so that measurements cannot be taken directly from it. On page 21, however, Moxon provides a table of ten common names and their equivalent measurement for one foot. The editors' note suggests that "names were given loosely to bodies varying very much in size. . . ." Nevertheless, these ten names have been added to the correlated table by dividing Moxon's figures into twelve to obtain the fractions of an inch.
