<p>[QUOTE="Ralbrig, post: 9757766, member: 85994"][USER=1476]@Debora[/USER], thanks for the photo and the link. That made me take a closer look. Those sliding wooden rails have a groove running along the inside. The spacing is approximately 14" rail to rail from inside the groove, so use as a file hanger isn't out of the question. A mechanism on the outside of the top doors is missing (just visible in the frontal photo I uploaded) and I'm thinking that maybe it accommodated a pad lock. If it was used for hanging files, I'm now wondering if there is something missing that was used to help pull the rails out (unless just pulling on a folder was sufficient to do that).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
