The calliper men must take care to keep their callipers up

 with only one calliper man, but the booker can keep up with 

 two men and sometimes with three or four. If an extra man 

 is available he can keep a general look-out to see that no 

 trees are omitted. 



Each diameter class is called an inch-class. When the

 This should be a tree of average height, and of good shape. It 

 is sometimes difficult to find a tree of exactly the size of the 

 inch-class if this is left to the end, and the author has found it 

 preferable to choose these sample trees while the callipering
