Divide the head by the bung diameter, and opposite the quotient in the column H, and under its proper variety, is the tabular number for unity. Multiply the tabular number by the square of the bung diameter of the given cask, and by its length, the product equals its capacity in Imperial gallons.
Required the number of gallons in a Cask, (1st variety,) 24 inches head-diameter, 32 bung-diameter, and 40 inches in length?
