A. FRACTIONAL CUBIC FEET- Each item on the Bill of Lading
   shall be considered separately. On a single package of
   less than one cubic foot it shall be freighted at one
   cubic foot.  On a single package in excess of one cubic
   foot, if the fraction is less than one-half cubic foot,
   it shall be dropped. If the fraction is one-half cubic
   foot or over, it shall be taken to the next cubic foot.
   On each item on a Bill of Lading consisting of two or
   more packages, actual fractions shall be used to
   determine the total measurement of all the packages.
   Where the total results in a fraction, such fraction
   shall be dropped if less than one-half cubic foot. If
   the fraction is one-half cubic foot or over, it shall
   be taken to the next full cubic foot.  All irregular
   shaped objects will be measured by multiplying the
   three dimensions and that the measurement used for each
   dimension will be the "outside" measurement of that
   dimension.

B. FRACTIONAL INCHES - All fractions under one-half inch
   shall be dropped.  All fractions over one-half inch
   shall be taken to the next full inch.  Where a fraction
   of exactly one-half inch occurs in one dimension, it
   shall be taken to the next full inch.  Where a fraction
   of exactly one-half inch occurs in two dimensions, the
   one on the smaller dimensions shall be taken to the full
   inch and the other dropped. However, if both dimensions
   are equal, increase one fraction to the next inch and
   drop the other.  Where fractions of exactly one-half
   inch occure in three dimensions, those on the largest
   and smallest dimensions shall be taken to the next inch
   and the other dropped.  However, if all three
   dimensions are equal, increase two of the fractions to
   the next full inch and drop the other.  All irregular
   shaped objects will be measured by multiplying the
   three dimensions and that the measurement used for each
   dimension will be "outside" measurement of that
   dimension.

C. FRACTIONAL DIMENSIONS-Cubic Measurement for the
   individual pieces or packages will be computed in
   accordance with the following rules regarding fraction
   of centimeters:

   1) All fractions under one-half (1/2) centimeter are
      to be dropped.

   2) all fractions over one-half (1/2) centimeter are to
      be extended to the next full centimeter.

   3) Where fractions of exactly one-half (1/2) centimeter
      occur on one dimension, it shall be extended to the
      next full centimeter.

   4) When extending freight charges on Bills of Lading,
      the total measurement at each rate shall be rounded
      off to the nearest 1/1000 (one/one-thousandth cubic
      meter.)

   5) All irregular shaped objects will be measured by
      multiplying the three dimensions and that the
      measurement used for each dimension will be the
      "outside" measurement of that dimension.
