Storing Music Box Discs
By Jim Grab

I recently acquired a music box and 15-1/2 inch discs.  I have been
told by one party that the best way to store them is vertical, and by
another party that they should be stored horizontally, smooth side
facing smooth side, with some padding between the playing sides that
would then be facing each other.

Which is best?  I have quite a few and it seems to me that the ones
on the bottom are not going to hold up well with all the weight of the
others on them.  What is the proper way?
