the way they are measured is on the stick. the stick goes like this:

/ \
|
=4
|
|
=3
|
|
=2
| \--------/
| | 1Shu |
=1 \____/


/ \
|
=4
|
|
=3
|
|
=2 \ -----\
| | 2 |
| | Shu|
=1 /-----/

as you can see by my crude drawing note that any bin upright will always count as one since there is no zero on the meter. when tipped a certain way it will round down to count for 2. that should clear anything up.
1 SHU = 14 3/4 inches. 1 bin in standard position by itself is 15 3/4 high. So according to the SHU stick starting with 1, a bin would be above the 2 mark already.

Will someone clarify all of this really simply please?
