Re: [ARSCLIST] Spacers for 16" electrical transcriptions

["Weiss, Steve" <smweiss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jay,
You may want to contact vendors like gaylord and metal edge about getting
their acid-free, ph neutral cardbord (like the ones they make boxes with) cut
in appropriately sized sqaures that will fit inside the boxes you want to use
and provide good support for the materials.

Perhaps they can cut you a deal (shameless, I know)
