Subject: Re: stuck map drawers (fwd)

Thanks for the advice, Ken.   Your guesses are quite possibly what's
causing the problems Basically what's happened is somehow the little wheels
that the drawers roll on are now rubbing the sides of the drawers, and in
some cases they're so tight we can't get the drawers open.  Yesterday we
were able to get some open and realized that this was what the problem
is.    My theory is that when they stacked the drawers up to move them,
they unloaded them from the top down, and the weight of all those drawers
warped those drawers on the bottom.  But it could be that the frames warped
or the bases were not placed properly.
