I don't know the answer but:
Where did the distance of 1650 yds come from?
I know it is close to 1 mile but why wasn't a rounder number like 1600 or 1700 chosen?:confused:
My guess is it's the closest yards equivalent to 1500 meters (1508.76 m, actually).
Of course, now the question is where did 1500 meters come from. I don't know the answer to that :)
