Description:Excerpt from The Woodsman's Handbook, Vol. 36: Revised and Enlarged The purpose of the Woodsman's Handbook is to give a collection of tables and rules of practical use to lumbermen, foresters, and others interested in the measurement of wood and timber. The Handbook is not intended as a treatise on forest mensuration, and only such information is included as is deemed of immediate practical value to American woodsmen. More complete discussions of the principles of forest measurements can be found in technical treatises. The first edition of the Handbook a discussed all of the log rules in use in this country and in Canada, or as many of them as were available. Its purpose was to bring the discrepancy in log rules before the public and to urge uniformity in the methods of measuring logs. In the present edition, which takes the place of the proposed Part II, only those log rules are described which have value or usage enough to justify special attention. The other rules are mentioned merely for comparison. Only three are given in full: The Scribner Decimal Rule, which has been adopted for timber sales on the National Forests; the Doyle Rule, and the Inscribed Square Rule. Certain changes have been made in the text of Part I, and some tables, which were desirable at the time of the first issue, have been omitted, because they are now of little or no value. Most of the volume tables are new and are the result of investigations made since Part I was published. The first edition announced that the second volume would include a description of how to measure growth, together with growth and yield tables of American trees. A summary of growth investigations has been included in this volume under the chapter on tree growth.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
