Hand (unit) divided by four, then the remainder is added after the radix point. Thus, a horse that measures 60 inches is 15 hands high (15 x 4 = 60) and a horse halfway between 15 and 16 hands is 15.2 hands, or 62 inches tall (15 x 4 + 2 = 62) Because the subdivision of a hand is a base 4 system, a horse 64 inches high is 16.0 hands high, not 15.4. A designation of "15.5 hands" is not halfway between 15 and 16 hands, but rather reads 15 hands and five inches, an impossibility in a base 4

The problem with many bands of their kind, however, is that when it finally comes down to getting their cacophony down on wax, something...the passion, the adrenalin, the smell of stale Carlsberg soaked into matted carpet...some indefinable quality is missing. We Are a Unit is Castrovalva's
