Weight of Electronics Rack for MuCap

[Steven Clayton <smclayto@npl.uiuc.edu>]

Hi Larry,

I weighed, using two bathroom scales,  an electronics
rack loaded with some crates and found the following:
there was 255 lbs on the front scale and 160 lbs on the
back, for a total of 415 lbs per rack.  The final contents of
the racks will be somewhat different, but this should
be a reasonable estimate of the overall weight;  I don't
know how the front/back weight distribution will be in the end.
(Peter, I weighed the rack in the lab closest to the wire
chamber.)

Regards,
Steven
