let me preface this with the fact that I have not read Steele's book.

The original concept of four part scansion I believe was part of a monograph written for the New South Wales Teachers' College by Alexander Derwent Hope I have not seen this and have only had it referenced.

James McAuley (he of Ern Malley fame or infamy lol) wrote of it in his collection of essays and writings The Grammar of the Real.

I find it the most useful tool in checking my work metrically.
Maybe the Hope/McAuley method is different to Steele's however I would recommend it to all formalists or those wishing to be.
