Still fresh, damnit!
Yes, multiply the dimensions in cm together to get a volume of a containing box in cm3/cc/ml.
As far as I can tell these last few pages have just been about ED omitting to repeat the cm unit multiple times; that's quite a common notation in engineering circles, I guess, because everything in those circles has a unit except for the mechanical moduli, it's just not so common in physics because different formula give you output in different units, and if you're not paying attention you might get a result in Nm per second per second when you expected one in mms^-2.
And then the typographers jumped in and pointed out that x a letter glyph and not the multiplication sign, but apart from a little vertical alignment it's pretty much identical to my eye. 7 bit ASCII FTW!
