Abstract
Smalian's formula, as applied in scaling, is compared with Newton's and Behre's formulae for synthetic logs generated from an unbiased taper system. The log examples may be considered typical for coastal British Columbia. For top logs Newton's formula gives adequate results, but for butt logs Behre's formula is better. The additional costs of obtaining the third diameter measurement required by Newton's and Behre's formulae should be weighed against the value of a more accurate scale.
