Thus a 16-foot log with a top end diameter of 12 inches (area 0.7&54 

 square feet) and a large end diameter of 14 inches (area_ 1*0690 square 

 feet) has a volume of 15 cubic feet, computed as follows : 



V = A t a L s ( 0.7854 f 1,0690 ) l6 e 24^352, rounded off to 15*

Table 6, which follows, was prepared in the manner just described, except 

 that a taper allowance of 0*5 inch for each 4 feet of log was arbitrarily 

 used. Similar tables can be prepared using tapers of 0.4 inch and 0.6 

 inch or any taper, for that matter, which is appropriate for the scaling 

 conditions encountered*
