The jacks are similar, but they will benefit from being arranged back to back, since the two [bass] octaves take as much space as four in an ordinary harpsichord Prior to 1980 when Keith Hill introduced his design for a pedal harpsichord, most pedal harpsichords were built based on the designs of extant pedal pianos from the 19th century, in which the instrument is as wide as the pedalboard.
Heavy-duty steel shelving of 18-gauge or lower is generally recommended for records. storage. The smaller the gauge number, the stronger the shelving; thus 16-gauge or 12-. gauge steel shelving is also appropriate. Shelving higher than 18-gauge is weaker and. may not be appropriate for records storage.
For other materials, such as aluminum and brass, the thicknesses will be different. Thus, a 10 gauge steel sheet which has a thickness of 0.1345 inches will weigh 41.82*0.1345 = 5.625 pounds per square foot. Examples: 16 ga CRS is 2.5 pounds per square foot.For 18 ga CRS the weight is 2.0 pounds per square foot and for 20 ga CRS the weight is 1.5 pounds per square foot.Standard sheet metal gauges. sheet metal gauge (sometimes spelled gage) indicates the standard thickness of sheet metal for a specific material. As the gauge number increases, the material thickness decreases. Sheet metal thickness gauges for steel are based on a weight of 41.82 pounds per square foot per inch of thickness.
