Maybe you mean the following site, which has many hyperlinks):

http://www.kb.nl/kb/skd/skd/mathemat.html

Hi Everybody,

        I seem to remember that there exists a book, article, or
reference work that lists a plethora of historical map scales with
their present day conversions or something like that. Does this ring
a bell with anyone out there? I remember using such an item years
ago but can't think of the title. Can anyone help me out with a
citation?

Thanks.
