Once sorted, average lengths, widths and heights can<br />
be determined for every modular class, assigning the<br />
correct statistical weight (picks per year) to each single<br />
dimension. A comparison of the average plan<br />
dimension (average length x average widths = average<br />
space used) with the maximum space available in the<br />
respective modular class provides the average space<br />
