Excerpt from Timber Cruising Manual and Record

Pages 15, 16 and 17 are specimen pages filled in by the author to show the exact method of using the blank pages of this book for cruising record purposes. Page 15 represents the tree tally made upon the hinged tablet which lies upon the two pages of the book which are being used. This tablet is left narrow so as not to cover the two chain columns at the right of the page (page The tablet also marks the working place in the book so that it may be returned to pocket, and when taken out again, quickly opened to the right place.

When the cruise of this mile strip is completed, the form on page 15 is added and its totals carried into the proper spaces on page 16. As this strip represents eight acres, a division of these quantities by eight gives the amounts per acre. These, in turn, are carried in summary to the bottom of the page to give the total per acre of all kinds of timber.
