Abstract
The purpose of the system is to provide cushioned support for a small collection of specimens in glass jars (e.g., types, teaching collections, exceptionally important collections) while maintaining visibility of the jar contents and labels. This system is especially pertinent for earthquake-prone regions. The fabrication is done in-house using inexpensive tools.
