Subject: When is a mile not a mile?
Does anybody know of a publication/ web-based resource/scrap of paper
you'd be willing to share, that gives conversions from old European
measurements of the mile (e.g. Italian miles, German miles) to
statute miles/kilometres?
I'm sure I've seen something in the past , but can't remember what
it was.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks,
Huw
