If you do have time to scan all or part of this volume, that would be so lovely. I don't want to make even more demands on your time, and I can definitely deal with the German myself and ask if I need help. The original plan was for me to get a copy of this and do exactly that, but I was foiled by my ILL reporting back there were no libraries that would lend to us all the way here in Boston. Ditto Berg.
With a 1905 publication date, scanning should be perfectly legal insofar as you can without damaging the book, and will be much appreciated. :)

ETA: Oh, now I see the „Ruthen“ on the map, in the left corner. Sorry, can‘t help you there at all. Zero knowledge of Ruthen in any way, shape or form.
Pretty much exactly what I would say if anyone asked me about rods in English. I've vaguely heard of them, I have no idea how long they are, it probably differed from village to village, don't ask me! ;)
And yes, I'm aware that the metric system wasn't used yet, I just have to convert all weird and archaic measurements to something consistent so that we can have a meaningful conversation, and I picked meters as the most sensible.
