Gunter's chain (also known as Gunter’s measurement) is a distance measuring device used for surveying. It was designed and introduced in 1620 by English clergyman and mathematician Edmund Gunter (1581–1626). It enabled plots of land to be accurately surveyed and plotted, for legal and commercial purposes. Gunter developed an actual measuring chain of 100 links. These, the chain and the link, became statutory measures in England and subsequently the British Empire.

  • La cadena de Gunter (també coneguda com a mesura de Gunter) és un mecanisme de mesura de distància utilitzat per a la topografia i l'agrimensura. Va ser dissenyat i introduït el 1620 pel clergue i matemàtic anglès Edmund Gunter (1581–1626). Va permetre aixecar i traçar amb precisió les parcel·les de terreny, amb finalitats legals i comercials. Gunter va desenvolupar una cadena de mesura real de 100 enllaços o baules. Aquests, la cadena i l'enllaç, es van convertir en mesures legals a Anglaterra i, posteriorment, a l'Imperi Britànic. (ca)

  • ガンター氏測鎖(ガンターしそくさ)またはガンター氏チェーン(Gunter's chain)は、測量に使用される、距離を測定するための道具である。 イギリスの聖職者で数学者のエドマンド・ガンター(1581年 - 1626年)が1620年に発明した。それまでは長い距離を正確に測定する道具がなく、ガンター氏測鎖の導入によって、土地の形状を正確に測量して図に描くことが可能となり、法的および商業目的のために利用された。 測鎖全体の長さがチェーン(chain)、測鎖を構成するリンクの長さが(link)という長さの単位となった。チェーンとリンクは、その後大英帝国における法定単位となった。 (ja)
  • Une chaîne d'arpenteur est un instrument de mesure destiné aux travaux d'arpentage réalisés par un géomètre créé en 1606. Pendant longtemps, elles n'étaient constituées que de maillons métalliques de longueur définie attachés les uns aux autres. La mesure donnée est peu précise, mais permet une estimation rapide d'une distance. Les anciens géomètres pouvaient se servir d'une chaîne d'arpenteur pour trouver ou vérifier un angle droit grâce au théorème de Pythagore. Par le système de 3, 4, 5, (ou leurs multiples) il est facile d'obtenir un triangle rectangle. (fr)
  • La catena di Gunter (nota anche come Misura di Gunter o catena del Geometra) è un dispositivo di misurazione geodetica della distanza utilizzato dai periti per il rilievo del territorio. Fu progettata ed introdotta nel 1620 dal sacerdote e matematico inglese Edmund Gunter (1581-1626), molto prima dello sviluppo del teodolite e di altre attrezzature più sofisticate, consentendo di esaminare e tracciare appezzamenti di terreno in modo accurato, per scopi legali e commerciali.
