    Question: Approximately how much would a gaylord box of #2 copper weight?? Or a gaylord of yellow brass? (I doubt I have a Gaylord of brass though.)
    My guess ( whats a 'Gaylord'? ) Is that a fadge would contain about 500 -600 Kgs of Copper #2.
    Thats based on my '9 sacks in a fadge @ 55Kgs a sack'. Now a sacks not a full height ( of the width )
    So a Cubic gaylord, or fadge, or pallet, would be a bit short of a Ton. Maybe 800-900 Kgs.

    What did i win?
