hello mike;

in the u.s.a.
there are exactly  2.54 centimeter to an inch.
there are         30.48 centimeter to  a foot.
there are         91.44 centimeter to  a yard.

so that would give you a small beak-iron of
roughly:
1.338582677165 inches by
.393700787401  inches by
.314960629921  inches by 
with a foot length of .866141732283  inches

that is one small beak-iron.
