Ginny, my understanding is the 1.2 cubic feet refers to the space taken up on the shelf, rather than the storage capacity of the box.

To further confuse matters, most CRC vendors seem to have a minimum charge of 1 cubic foot.

Best regards.

Subject: [RM] Cubic Feet of Standard Records Box

In the course of a related project, I had to calculate the cubic feet of
several box sizes.  In doing the cubic foot calculation I learned
thousands of years ago in school (length times width times height) I was
surprised to see that a standard records box contains 1.04 cubic feet.
Yet, most records storage companies list this box as 1.2 cubic feet.
Can someone from a CRC explain how the 1.2 cubic feet is calculated?
