Miners also use it as a unit of area equal to 6 feet square (3.34 m 2) in the plane of a vein. [2] In Britain, it can mean the quantity of wood in a pile of any length measuring 6 feet (1.8 m) square in cross section. [2] In Central Europe, the klafter was the corresponding unit of comparable length, as was the toise in France.
The area of the site is 65 acres. It extends from Telok Ayer Market to Mount Palmer, a distance of 900 yards. The width, to be covered by the exhibition between Anson Road and the sea is 530 yards and between the main entrance opposite McCallum Street and the sea is 270 yards. These dimensions are on an equality with the dimensions of ...
The general design of the yard was influenced by the long and narrow parcel of land the New Haven owned in Providence and Pawtucket, with 900 feet (270 m) of width available as opposed to 2 miles (3.2 km) of length. [5] The new yard was designed as a hump yard for rapidly classifying railroad cars. [5]
The tunnellers who worked from shafts driven into either end of the approach cuttings were equipped with compressed air-powered rock drills and were boring into the sandstone at 240 yards (220 m) per month. Because of the tunnel's depth, in excess of 900 feet (270 m), intermediate shafts to speed construction were discounted. [2]
The 14,137-foot mountain is one of Colorado’s “most difficult” climbs, officials say.
The vacuum tube-based guidance system is more sophisticated than earlier torpedoes, using pre-launch settings enabling an initial search depth of 50, 150, 250, 450, 650 or 900 feet (15, 46, 76, 137, 198 or 274 m) as well as a search floor at 150, 250, 450, 650 or 900 feet (46, 76, 137, 198 or 274 m) as well as a maximum dive/climb angle of 4.5 ...
The plane climbed straight ahead to about 900 feet after takeoff, NTSB investigator Eliot Simpson said during a news conference, but then the pilot immediately called back to the control tower. He ...
The height is generally about six feet from the ground close under them. The ground rises so abruptly behind them that at any distance they would give no shelter, and the fort is commanded on the north from a hill in Lalgun, and on the south from the hill of Rameshvar, each about 2,000 yards distant, with perfectly possible ascents at any side ...
