Excerpt from Book Stack and Shelving for Libraries
There are no loose or movable pins, brackets, screws or other parts whatever. Shelves Compact The standing partition and the movable shelf comprise the whole outfit. At any point, the shelves, which are perfectly flat, like thin boards, may be removed and piled away at the top of the range, and leave all the space between the supports free for passage to and fro through the stack, or for any other purpose, such as the introduction of cabinets, etc.
The shelf itself is preferably an open grating of parallel bars of steel, the top Shelf should surfaces being about one-half inch wide, spaced about one-quarter of an inch apart 3:3s in the clear, and perfectly smooth. These are connected across at the ends by a bar containing the lugs and claw notches for support, and they are also bridged at one or two intervals between the ends by a small rod, as shown in figure 6, page 29.
The shelf is the most complete and perfect made, or ever likely to be made. It is illustrated and described on pages 48 and 49.
