loose packers preferred to give Africans "breathing room"

tight packers herded as many Africans as possible.

Slavers used the 16-inch formula when packing their vessels, allowing only 2' of head room:

a man had 6' length & 16 inches width; and a woman had 5'10" length & 16" width, hence the name 16-inch formula
