[Nhcoll-l] shock absorber

[sam]

Hi all-

Long ago, when double-boxing specimens,

usually avian eggshells, for shipping,

I chose an outer box quite a bit larger

than the inner box. I filled the space

loosely with squishy soft foam rubber

chips measuring maybe 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4".

I didn't stuff them in tightly, just enough

to let the inner box to move a little to

absorb any physical impact the package

may be subjected to. There are, or at least

there were, brick and mortar foam rubber

stores.  They sell thick foam pads for

mattresses, and soft foam rubber chips for

pillows.

Best,

Sam Sumida
