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.
Structural steel members, such as I-beams, have high second moments of area, which allow them to be very stiff in respect to their cross-sectional area.n comparison, concrete, while being less dense than steel, has a much lower strength-to-weight ratio. This is due to the much larger volume required for a structural concrete member to support the same load; steel, though denser, does not require as much material to carry a load.
