Box dimensions 1 Bushel and 1/2 Bushel

[CrealCritter]

Did I mention how much I hate legalese.

" A box which shall measure on the inside thereof seventeen and one-half inches (17 1/2") by seventeen and one-half inches (17 1/2") in length and width, and which on the inside thereof shall measure seven and one-sixteenth inches (7 1/16") in depth, measured from the highest part of the bottom thereof, is hereby declared to be a legal bushel box for the sale of farm produce. A box which shall measure on the inside thereof thirteen by thirteen inches (13" s 13") in length and width and which on the inside thereof shall measure six and one-sixteenth inches (6 1/16") in depth, measured from the highest part of the bottom thereof, is hereby declared to be a legal half bushel box for the sale of farm produce."

So all according to what you have in it, two 1/2 bushel boxes will hold more than one full bushel box correct????? Would be interesting to see what the different pounds of, say green beans, is.
