A "link" is a unit of measurement commonly used in the context of surveying and land measurement. One link is equivalent to 0.66 feet, or 7.92 inches. The link is part of the British Imperial and U.S. survey systems, and it is often used in conjunction with the chain, another surveying unit, where 1 chain equals 100 links. The link is primarily of historical interest nowadays, as modern surveying typically utilizes metric and decimal systems.
