ABSTRACT:
A compact storage file for box-like objects such as the IBM 3480 magnetic tape cartridge. The basic file unit comprises a U-shaped frame of a flat back wall and integral side walls with a plurality of shelves therein. The construction of the basic unit enables it to be replicated and arranged in many different multiples of the basic unit for efficient use of space in large or complex computer facilities. The shelves in the units are vertically spaced close together for the compact storage of the cartridges and arranged to provide for convenient hand removal of the cartridges from the file. Only the shelves of the storage file units are provided with cartridge separating walls which are constructed and arranged so that a grasped group of the IBM 3480 cartridges are easily quickly inserted as a group in any open area of the file unit.
