[1913 Webster]
1. A measure of length, the twelfth part of a foot, commonly
subdivided into halves, quarters, eights, sixteenths,
etc., as among mechanics. It was also formerly divided
into twelve parts, called lines, and originally into three
parts, called barleycorns, its length supposed to have
been determined from three grains of barley placed end to
end lengthwise. It is also sometimes called a prime ('),
composed of twelve seconds (''), as in the duodecimal
system of arithmetic.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The symbol ' is the same symbol as the light accent, or
the "minutes" of an arc. The "seconds" symbol should
actually have the two strokes closer than in repeated
"minutes", but in this dictionary '' will be
interpreted as "seconds".
[PJC]
12 seconds ('') make 1 inch or prime. 12 inches
or primes (') make 1 foot. --B.
Greenleaf.
