Pica - a unit of type size and line length equal to 12 points (about 1/6 inch or 4.2 mm).

Elite - a size of letter in typewriting, with 12 characters to the inch (about 4.7 to the centimetre).

Not sure if this is the answer you require. I remember it from my days of shorthand and typing.

em - a unit for measuring the width of printed matter, equal to the height of the type size being used.
