Note: Standardized linear units of measure made up of twelve inches, 1/3 of a yard; equal to 0.3048 meters. It was a unit of length in both the imperial and US customary systems of measurement; since 1959, both units have been defined as the same by international agreement. Originally the unit was based on the length of a man's foot, varying in exact length at different periods and in different countries.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Britse en Amerikaanse lengtemaat, gelijk aan 12 inch, 1/3 van een yard, of 0,3048 meter. In 1959 werd deze eenheid, die reeds in zowel Groot-Brittannië als de VS bestond, door een internationale afspraak voor beide landen gelijkgesteld. Oorspronkelijk was de voet daadwerkelijk gebaseerd op de menselijke voet, en verschilde de precieze lengte dan ook van land tot land en periode tot periode. |
