Maps-L Moderator XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX MESSAGE 1 Alice, A followup to my quick reply last night, and an apology for some erroneous information. The article I wrote for WAML IB did not include a truck used at the National Archives, but does include some custom-built ones made for the Library of Virginia and for my library, plus others from three other places. There are full descriptions of each in the article, including overall dimensions, some diagrams, and some photos. The article is: Andrew, Paige G.
