I, too, had never heard of the picket fence method so I looked it up. Most explanations were not very well done. However, here is the gist. Basically it is a bunch of factor-label conversions scrooched together and named the picket fence method.
12 inches x | | | | |
-----------------------------
....................| | | | |
where you type in 2.54 cm in the top | | and 1 in in the lower | |. The next factor-label factor goes in the next top | | and bottom | | etc.
