The pitch of my old wood propeller which I am retiring is given in
inches, while my new Warp Drive uses degrees to set pitch.  No reference
to inches.
What is the relationship between the two methods of measurement?
Can you direct me to reference material (for the layman)?

Good question.

Yvon,  I had my 4 blade warp drive most efficient at 13° using a severely
bridgeported 12a with 2.85 psru.  I kept the engine at 7500 for take off and
usually flew hard at 6100+ rpm.  MY use necessitated a heavy climb
configuration. (vs. cruise performance)   (that's the way gyro's fly!!)
