What unit of measurement is a chain times a furlong?

A chain furlong obviously.
Too difficult?
OK, an easy one.
How many gills in a quart?
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

We used gills right up till 1985. We now use a rather dull 25ml instead of 1/6 gill for gin, vodka, rum, brandy and whisky.
