(This plate added SEP 2004)

The assortment of scrap boxboard shown in Plate 122 is again shown here. Added to the display in this photo is a 6-inch direct-reading dial caliper, a tool which can be used to measure the thickness of materials.
Measurements with the caliper revealed that the boxboard at the left of the display, consisting of flattened boxes which had previously contained facial tissue, is approximately one sixty-fourth (1/64) of an inch thick. --more-- |

The larger pieces of boxboard at the right, consisting of flattened boxes which had previously contained rice, saltine crackers and breakfast cereal, range from one thirty-second (1/32) of an inch to three sixty-fourths (3/64) of an inch in thickness.
The various thicknesses of scrap boxboard will be a consideration in the construction of a presentation box for the Silver Jubilee mug. Go to top of page |
