Rod (rd). A rod (also called a pole or perch) is 16.5 feet (5.0292 m), an old land-measurement unit.
Typographic point (pt). A typographic point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.3528 mm), used for font sizes.
There are 14,256 typographic points in one rod.
Multiply the number of rods by 14,256. For example, 10 rods equal 142,560 typographic points.
One typographic point equals 7.01459 × 10⁻⁵ rods.
171,072 typographic points. Other common values: 5 rods = 71,280 typographic points and 100 rods = 1,425,600 typographic points.
