Hi Wennie et al:
The rack is on top of the cabinet in W20-454 as promised. It's filled
with the larger silkscreen frames.
It be a good idea to bolt the rack to the top of the cabinet.
If you like this done, I need someone to help me with it.
I left the ten or so tubes of silkscreen supplies on the drying rack
next to the cabinet.
The letterpress stuff inside the cabinet has been replaced by
most of the smaller silkscreen frames. There are still frames on the
floor and counter top.
There are some clear and paper masters on the top shelf of the gray
cabinet in the front APOffice.
I moved about nine cubic feet of letterpress stuff from W20-454 to the
back APOffice, including where the rack was. I plan to put in a few
days a week working on getting the rest into the Press Shop, but there
is a lot of work to be done to make that happen.

Wennie:
i moved the rack contents, but not the rack to the silscreen room:
- some screens, 1 blank, two with crests
- a positive of the crest and it's images on 2 cardboards
- the tubes of old silkscreen films, etc
i'll move the rack over the Christmas break
