Managing large sheets in these large folders of cardboard was made easier by using my adjustable lamp as a cover holder as well as a source of illumination. For years I had a 2-inch by 4-inch light mount with a hole in it screwed to the bottom of my table for layout and draſt ing. With the addition of a 2-inch by 4-inch riser with a 1/2-inch hole in the top I was able to raise the light over the larger folders for light which also held the top cover out of the way. (Figure 6) T is turned out to be a great example of serendipity.

For those sets of plans on many sheets, I tape an index to both the outside and inside for quick reference. (Figure 7) T is has made management of plans effi cient. Both the cost and storage space are minimal, while the system makes even the largest previously tube-stored sheets easy to use.
