No I cut and pasted the answer from another thread on frame sizes.
If you use the search facility you can find pictures of some monster frames.
They're not for the faint-hearted.

maybe im wooden , but even with your 2 left and 2 right plus your three sections in the middle , that would make 7 sections of 20 = 140 calls per row single slot , multiply that by 4 rows only gives you 560 calls . I think to get a 900 call single slot frame you would need a frame about the size of a church organ or maybe a load of shelves and a ladder on wheels like in the library!!!

That number already assumes double slots Clash.
There are only 80 slots on a RM2000 wing. :neutral:

We would need to order more shoes in that case with all the walking indoors, that's just at your frame. Lol.

That is one delivery point per slot but making the slots as narrow as possible ie 38 slots/DP per grey box on your frame rather than the more usual 20 slots/DP. I don't think anyone actually uses this method. The normal method gives you 560 DP per full frame.
Johnny p has got a picture of his frame - a sort of "L" shaped monster, but I don't know how to cut and paste it.

As already said: 1 base and 4 wings = 7 columns which is a total of 560 single slots, after that your in doubles.

I ve heard this ban on "nesting" d2d,s before but i cant see how i could complete clearing the frame every day. :so there
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

I had 3 this week and no matter how i tried there was no way of putting them inside each other so i had to prep them separately.To be honest it wasn't that difficult even with double slots but what made it manageable was only doing 1/6th per day.

1064 DP is if you use single spacing for the dividers rather than double. This gives you 38 slots per box on the frame rather than 20. 20x7x4=560, 38x7x4=1064. For 900+ calls you should have 2 seperate RM2000 frames really.

Single spacing wouldn't work with the mail profile we have now.
You would probably break 30+ fillets a day...

I agree, this is why we use two frames for high density walks with high DP counts.
