The use of these tables saves a great deal of time to thescaler and also insures accuracy in extensions. After the gross cords areobtained, deductions are made for underlengths, rotten wood, knotty woodand foreign wood, which gives the net cords of merchantable pulpwoodcontained in the car and completes the scale. Accuracy of surveying method. We have had shippers whoclaimed that because a car was of a certain size they should thereforereceive credit for the number of cords it would contain based on the carspace, but the Company does not buy car space, and by the above methodof scaling each tier separately, has
