Leeds had an Ahmdahl which had all the cabinets on castors. I have some of the castors (the only souvenir they let me keep), and they're rated for 250kg each. They're rather bigger than the ones on the Sequent :-) Our present tape backup system, which weighs the best part of a ton, is on four castors. Actually, lots of large machines, old and new, are on castors, but they tend to have jackscrews as well. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
