Button (unit)
Unit of length which may have been used in the UK.[1]
Definitions[edit]
The Oxford English Dictionary does not show any meaning of Button as a unit of measurement.[2]
The convertunits.com website offers a conversion of 1 button = 0.025 inches (0.64 mm)*; 40 buttons =1 inch (25 mm).[3]
The wide-ranging sizes.com does not, as of February 2015[update], recognise this unit.[4]
Cardarelli asserts that a button is 1/12 inch or 0.002116666666666666666666666666667 m.[1]
