In that case, for your benefit, im carrying a legal payload of 3200 pounds with room to spare. My god, what a car. Not sure what that is in cubits, i dont go back that far ... @DRW, @Drover, @chartrock, chime in any time??? :boink:

Mate, cubits are too new for me, I have always used the palm or shaftment.


The shaftment is a unit of length, 6 - 6½ inches or 2 palms, i.e. 15.24 cm. A shaftment is the width of the fist and outstretched thumb. The lengths of poles, staves, etc. can be easily measured by grasping the bottom of the staff with thumb extended and repeating such hand over hand grips along the length of the staff.
