If you can't find a website, here's the book you want:
http://www.feldheim.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=0-87306-428-3&type=store&category=24

It's called _Aiding Talmud Study_ by Aryeh Carmell. The list price is $11.95
and Feldheim is having their 20% off Chanukah sale. This small paperback
book has it all: Measurements, numbers, key Aramaic words and phrases, maps
of Bavel and Judea, a timeline of the rabbis of the mishnah and gemara. I
have used this study aid more than any other (except the dictionary). And
no, I don't work for Feldheim.
Best regards,
