in any situation where ground is valuable, the number of persons to be inspected

For this purpose, the floor of the ground story of the Lodge is elevated
to within about 4 1/2 feet of the floor of the first story of the Cells. By this
means the Inspector's eye, when he stands up, will be on, or a little above, the level
of the floor of the above mentioned upper story of the Cells: and, at any rate, he
will command both that and the ground story of the Cells, without difficulty, and without change of posture.
