------------------
Ilene--Hamilton map cases are manufactured by Mayline
(http://www.mayline.com/); you can find them under "Large Format and
Drafting Furniture."

Also, there have been several MAPS-L threads over the years about fixing
sticky/stuck/broken map drawers that may be helpful.  Yet another thing they
don't teach you in library school...

Hi all-

Thanks to Linda Z. for quickly answering my question and letting me know
that Hamilton and Mayline are one and the same.

*Subject:* Replacing wheels on map cabinets?

Hi all-

We have several map drawers that are very hard to open mainly because
the wheels in the back of the drawers are old and bent. We'd like to
contact a map cabinet vendor to see if replacing wheels is even
possible. It looks like the majority of our cases are from the Hamilton
Manufacturing Company. I did a google search for them and did not find
them. They are also not listed as one of the cabinet vendors on the WAML
website (see http://www.waml.org/maptools.html#mapcabs). Any ideas if
they still exist? Or does anyone out there think contacting a different
map cabinet vendor would help? Could the wheels maybe be interchangeable?

Thanks-

Ilene
