I think I just developed
this formula on my own, but here's what I use: Five folders per 2" drawer
with a maximum of 25 sheets (pages, pieces) per folder. I most cases
I would put fewer than 25 sheets in a folder if they are all loose items, but
sometimes architectural drawings are bound into multiple page
sets.

Hello All!
I am looking to pick your collective brain. We are investigating
various funding sources for the purchase of additional flat file drawer
units for the storage of architectural drawings. I am trying to develop a
justification for the purchase for the financial powers-that-be. I know
at one point I heard or read a recommendation on the number of
architectural drawings stored per drawer, but I cannot figure out where I got
the information. It was something like "x drawings per folder
and x folders per drawer". Does anyone out there have this
information and its source?
Thanks!
