<p>[QUOTE="elarnia, post: 65504, member: 159"]Most library card systems for the public to use have a rod through each drawer from the front to the back, which goes through a hole in each card, keeping them in the drawer and in order. The rods pull out from the front to let the librarian add new cards in the right order. If these don't have the rod system, it may be a filing system for some other purpose. I don't think the numbers on the drawers fit with a library, but they may have been added by a later user.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
