Accidents (was West Penn "Orange")

[Fred W. Schneider III]

NOT A CHANCE!  IF I HAD THAT SOLUTION, I WOULD HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO
PRINT MONEY.  About 20 years ago, I was working in the darkroom and had
this sick feeling that the floor joists over head had a downward bow in
them.  They did.  About 1/2 inch in mid span from the weight of the
photos and books in the den immediately above.  The solution was jack
posts and a steel girder.  Of course that did not stop the saving.  Ask
Derrick or John or Ed.  It just continued to get Piled Higher and
Deeper.  Book shelves moved into other rooms (where the public sees
them, they are nice built in affairs).  The back bedroom upstairs has
one shelving unit of European tramway books and another shelving unit of
European travel books.  The overflow of United States travel and
architecture and flower books are piled in another bedroom.  I got about
fifteen feet of shelf space in July by hiding the Trains magazines in
the library at Arden.  The PCC book research documents also went to
Arden.  But all that does is reduce this joint from incredibly packed to
extremely packed.
