Subject: Map case weight
 
We have a new building going up on campus that may end up housing our
depository map collection and the geology professor coordinating the
project portion of this is wondering what the load would be for flat
map files. I was able to find the tare (empty) weight of a set of 5
drawer flat files based on the shipping weight, but I don't have any
idea how to calculate how much (or how much more) said files would
weigh when they are stocked with topo maps. Does anyone have or has
anyone done calculations for this type of question or can someone tell
me where to look? Any and all suggestions would be welcome. Thanks
in adavance.....
