This rack moves on a small wheel in the center of the foot of the door, and is supported behind by a wheel running in a brass-lined groove. Thus, when the front panel (or door) is pulled out, the whole rack comes out into the light, each side can be examined at a glance, and any article on it can be taken out in an instant. The outfit, placed in the box in which it is drawn from the supply room, occupies 10,000 cubic inches. When set out in the rack, it FXG. I occupies 24,000 cubic inches. When placed in the ordinary desk with its cupboard and drawers, it occupies 44,000 cubic inches. Since in the rack-cupboard it thus occupies only about half the space commonly required, two outfits for two different students can go where one went before. In addition, actual measurement shows that the student can take out any needed article or chemical in one-third of the time re(24)
