3. Small Lots of timber under 0.25 m³ may be charged on actual weight at Class C if cheaper than the charge for timber in small lots.

4. Less Than Minimum Loads—(a) Where a consignment of timber is loaded on a bogie wagon and the quantity is less than the prescribed minimum load for the class of wagon used, the charges will be based on such minimum or, if cheaper, on the actual quantity of timber at the small lots scale plus the charge for one check wagon.

(b) Where a consignment of timber loaded on a bogie wagon also requires a four-wheeled check wagon, charges will be based on the minimum load for one bogie plus the charge for one check wagon or, if cheaper, on the actual quantity at the small lots scale, plus the charge for two check wagons.

5. (a) Any deficiency in quantity required to make up the prescribed minimum referred to in paragraphs 2 or 4 is to be charged at Class K single rate.

(b) Separate consignments of timber loaded in the same wagon from one consignor to various consignees at the same destination station may be grouped for the purpose of calculating the minimum load as provided in paragraph 1 hereof. Where the total quantity so loaded is less than the prescribed minimum the deficiency in measurement will be shared proportionately by each consignment.

6. Computation of measurement—(a) Except where otherwise specified, the length of timber will be measured in multiples of 10 cm, fractional amounts less than 10 cm will be omitted.

(b) Except where otherwise provided, the total volume will be calculated exactly, prior to rounding off for charging purposes.

7. Timber shorts—i.e., pieces not exceeding 2 m in length—will be charged on measurement at Class K rate or vide paragraph 2 hereof, except where timber shorts for the purposes specified in section 68 are classified at tonne rates.

Where the actual weight of timber shorts (chargeable on weight) and shooks cannot be determined by weighing, the weight may be computed on the basis of 1.05 m³ to the tonne.

8. Sawn timber in pieces not exceeding 2 m in length will, except where otherwise provided, be charged on actual length.

9. Unless otherwise specified, in computing the sizes of sawn timber, whether dressed or undressed, fractional parts less than 1 mm in width or thickness will be reckoned as 1 mm.

10. In computing the charges for timber, the total cubic measurement will be calculated to two decimal places; lesser decimals fractions will be ignored.

11. In computing the measurement of rusticated weatherboards, tongued-and-grooved flooring and lining boards, and all other boards of irregular width and thickness, the full over-all measurement will be charged for—i.e., the board will be taken to measure as if its reatest width and thickness were uniform throughout the entire width and thickness of the board.
