[Barrel staves] are sold by the standard mille, or thousand, of 1200, or ten standard hundreds of 120 pieces. … Prepared staves are reckoned in some parts of the Continent by the schock. Thus a long thousand of staves usually consists of 20 schock, each of 60 pipe staves; for hogshead and barrel staves the long thousand consists respectively of 30 and 40 schock, and for pipe, hogshead, and barrel headings, of 40, 60 and 80 schock.
