[Hallicrafters] Cubit

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Well the cubit I refered to for an Ark, is found in the book of Genesis, King
James version of the Holy Bible, and is a measurement used by Noah to construct
the Ark. Probably about eighteen inches. 	
	
Sure would have ruined the Disney classic "20000 Leagues Under The Sea" had they
converted to cubits!

Huh?  First, are you working in Biblical cubits?  Greek?  Israeli? 
Roman?  And the last time I checked (yeah, as if!) a league was 10560 
Biblical cubits, a (surveyors') furlong was 440, and a fathom was 4.
