So, you want to know for instance the difference between Amsterdam foot,
Haarlem foot, Delft foot, Brussels foot, Hamburg foot, Verona foot,
Zurich foot...  Or what is Paris (old) pound in English pounds? Get The
Encyclopedia of Architecture by Joseph Gwilt, the classic 1867 edition,
reprinted in 1982, ISBN 0-517-37985-6. An absolutely delightful book
altogether.
