check pile
A procedure for obtaining the desired number of
sheets in a PAD
without having to count each group. The exact
number of sheets is counted for one (check) pad,
and, using this pile as a "check pile," the
approximate number of sheets is placed in an
adjacent pile. Sheets are added or removed from
the second pile until the heights of the piles are
the same, at which time the second pile supposedly
has the same number of sheets as the "check pile."
A better method is to use aPAD COUNTER (2) . (74 )
