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.
Varying the amount of alloying elements and the form of their presence in the steel controls qualities such as the hardness, ductility, and tensile strength of the resulting steel. Steel with increased carbon content can be made harder and stronger than iron, but such steel is also less ductile than iron.
