CONCLUSION
All of these calculations tend to show that the storage
capacity of the barrels in the Monks' Cellar was carefully
planned, and that the person who decided on the number
and the dimensions of the barrels shown in the cellar, as
well as the dimensions of the cellar itself, had a clear and
accurate statistical picture of the total annual needs in
alcoholic beverages of the community for which the cellar
was designed, as well as the precise volume of cooperage
required to meet these needs. In the light of the results of
our general analysis of the scale and construction methods
used in designing the Plan, these findings will not come as
a surprise.
