Historical information
Audio records were dispatched via the postal service and needed to be protected against damage to and from their destination. In this example of a record case, two straps with metal ends held the front and rear containers together. The contents were protected by thick cardboard inside each container as well as metal corners on the upper lid. Books purchased from the American Foundation for the Blind, who began producing them in 1935, came to Australia in these cases, which where then used to send and return them.
