At a place I used to work we had a dual-BA23 MVII with two Eagle drives,
a Kennedy 9-track tape drive, and two large Ungermann-Bass rack-mount
units. Everything was in two racks bolted together on heavy duty casters.
All that was in one of the racks was the two UB units (we used the bottom
for storage, so to make maintaining them easier I removed them and unbolted
the racks. The empty rack was sometimes used as an inpromptu moving cart
for rackable items. It was also used for fun, racing around the raised
floor. :-)
