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.....
