Any thoughts of where (in England) to get the metal racks of drawers
which used to be used to store 80 column punched cards. There must
have been thousands made but I have looked for them on eBay and no
luck. I don't suppose they are still made unless they are used for
some other purpose (like bank notes). I have seen some a bit bigger
but they have pop rivets poking into the storage space which would
damage the cards.

Look for people who process snap away full size credit card forms. they
were the same size as 80 column
hollerith cards. I have two that I use for tool boxes, but I'm in LA
and don't really want to get rid of
them anyway. Big thing with card drawers is that you could pull out the
drawers and climb up them
at least the ones we had.

Not in England, so this isn't going to be of much help to you, but I do
happen to have a couple of those that I plan to get rid of in the near
future, if I can work out the hassle I'm currently having with the storage
facility they're currently sitting in.
Located in south central PA, if anybody's interested.
