Steinerner contemporary witness of a unit of measurement that has almost been forgotten. A quarter mile from Electoral Saxony, 500 rods long. A whole mail mile of 2000 rods. 1 rod was 4,531 meters long. The Saxon post mile was 9.062 km or 2 hours away. The measurement was carried out by a counter on the wagon wheel and the circumference of the wheel was 1 Dresden rod = 4.531 m.
