Detailed Solution

Ellie, the measuring unit in Germany, was used to measure cloth.
Napoleon's administrative methods produced a confederation of 39 states from many minor principalities. Each of these had its own money and weights and measures. Duties were frequently collected based on the weight or measurement of the commodities. This required time-consuming calculation because each region has its system of weights and sizes. The Elle, for example, was a cloth measure representing a different length in each area. An ounce of textile material purchased in Frankfurt would yield 54.7 cm of cloth, 55.1 cm in Mainz, 65.6 cm in Nuremberg, and 53.5 cm in Freiburg.
