I'm looking at the Klose Method Book for Clarinet, p. 244 #15 and the notes are as eighths but if they were all eighth notes, it would exceed 4 beats per measure. Most appear to be grouped like triplets would be but they aren't marked that way.

Sometimes the copyist/engraver/whoever will only mark the first bar or so of a predominantly triplet passage with the 3's. Less clutter, saves ink!

Eg: the Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven) pdf on this page – http://www.sheetmusicdigital.com/freepdffiles.asp (scroll down; right hand column)
