ating in the summer of 1953, so possibly the cargo in the
pipelines during the month of August may be considered to
be wartime materiel.
II. THE DEHSITY STUDY
Haring limited the scope of the density study by
considering the various factors, no time was lost in
embarking upon the project.
The raw data source. Each of the armed services has
its own method of accounting for an identifying cargo in
the process of transportation. The Air Force has its
Shipping Requisition, the Army has its Shipping Document,
and the Havy has its non-negotiable Bill of Lading. However,
each of the three types of different documents contain
essentially the same information. Usuable information
found in these documents for the purposes of the study was
the destination of the cargo, date, weight, and cubic measurements
(expressed in cubic feet) of the Shipment. The
documents were segregated as to branch of service, month ofj
the shipment, and the area to which shipped. !
A total of 42,631 usuable documents was tabulated
representing 12,848,858 pounds of cargo. Each document
accounted for one or several shipments of one or more
items. If more than one shipment was listed on each document,
then each shipment was counted separately.
