I'm sorry but you are confusing two types of measurements.
"Gallons" is of course a measure of liquid, while record center
boxes are a linear measure. Thirty gallon containers use water
as a measure of size because they are not linear but round, etc.
I sort of have the same problem when the car ad says "holds 45
cubic feet of trunk space" -- I'm sorry but my square cubic feet boxes
won't fit the curves, dips, slants of the encompassing sides!

Subject: Record Storage Box = ? Gallons
Hi folks,
I have looked in archives builders and on the web and have come close
(such as 30 gallon recycling bins), but I still seek an answer for the
following question:
One record storage box = ______ gallons
My math is already on vacation, the rest of me goes in a few hours.
(yes, I will set my NO MAIL)
The bigger question for me is how many standard records storage boxes
fit into a 96 gallon bin? If I get the answer to the equation above, I
think I can handle the rest...
As always,
Thanks,
Chuck Piotrowski
