Well, let me do some figgerin' here! I assume 2 feet wide by three feet long...
which means 6 lineal feet of storage per unit...! 78's seem to run around
100/lineal foot (this allows room to access individual discs)...so we are
looking at US$40 to store, give or take, 600 10" 78rpm phonorecords. This
means, given the fact I own 50,000 such phonorecords +/-, that I need 83-1/3
such units (let's say 84, since they don't come in thirds of units...!).

This means I am spending US$3,360.00 for the requisite amount of storage
units...! Well, Houston, we got a problem...that amounts to about three
months of TOTAL net income (before paying rent and bills, and buying the
regular beer ration...!).

After giving it some consideration, I believe I shall stick with milk
boxes...!
