vertical file

While vertical file cabinets store documents front-to-back, lateral file cabinets store files from side to side, which allows manufacturers to max out document storage capacity in a shallower footprint.

A vertical file system is less wide than a lateral file cabinet and is therefore better suited to placing alongside or underneath a desktop, which is another important thing to keep in mind.

The most universally used of all filing devices is the vertical file.

Fig. 32 shows an outside cabinet, card index, and vertical file units, which fit the openings in the cabinet.

This cabinet contains vertical file, card index, legal blank drawers, and document files.

The omnipresent vertical file was, in reality, a robot memory bank.

A very satisfactory method of filing designs is to use a file constructed on the principle of the vertical file.
