Film Vaults: Construction and use

John G. Bradley

The presently accepted type of film-storage vaults and the standards governing their use are reviewed. The discussion is made in terms of vent area per film load and the resulting pressures; horizontal versus vertical arrangement of film cans; open rack, shelf, and cabinet storage; units of risk for material of high subject-matter values; air conditioning; and related problems. Special mention is made of an insulating retractor belt for shelf storage.
