----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Just for the record. Our standard broadsheet cabinets (h x w x d = 55 x 59.25 x 47.25) have 55 drawers (0.78 x 52.55 x 40.95) [measures in inches]. The cabinets and the frames are made of ALLUMINIUM, the drawer-bottoms of melinex. In the past 20 years we have received hardly any flat maps which do not fit in these drawers. The cabinets have given nothing but satisfaction. In each drawer we put between 20 to 40 maps, depending on size. The double amount is also possible. The manufacturer produces broadsheet cabinets in modules of custom-made size, with different kinds of drawer-bottoms (depending on solidity needed) and drawer-heights ranging from 0.40" to 23.6". Besides they produce many peripherals for these cabinets and a whole range of restoration-equipment. For those of my colleagues who want/need more information, their address is: Simba Aluminium P.O.
