Re: 1 box = ? linear feet



It's a sensible solution, and it works. I count a record center box as 1.0
-- and lo, three letter-size manuscript boxes fit snugly inside. And two
legal-size boxes, and one half legal size (.4 + .4 + .2) fit the other way.

This solution may seem ridiculous, but see how many manuscript boxes (letter
or legal) will fit into a standard records storage carton (15x10x12) A
standard records carton is 1,800 cubic inches  or approximately 1.04 cubic
feet (I have also seen the numbers go as high as 1.2 cubic feet).
