[CAUT] Long term grand storage

[Daniel Gurnee]

Hello Joel,

The Humboldt Comunity Concert Association's 1927 S&S D retired from  
the SF S&S Concert Dept. had been always stored on its legs between  
concerts but under a new storage management was stored on its side  
for several months having no effect on its scale but major regulating  
problems for the next three concerts.
