The 84 usually packs on edge, except with occasional one or two rows on one end of each layer, which may require to be turned to make length in the layer and proper height in the end. In turn- ing these rows alternate, turning the last one or two rows in the first and third layers at the end farthest from the packer, and in the first one or two rows in the second and fourth layers at the end nearest to the packer.
