The assembly of a new Apple store involves putting very finely-crafted pieces together with very little space between the components, much like a Powerbook. That process is no better explained than some notations on the side of crates of glass that just arrived at the future Royal Hawaiian (Honolulu) retail store. In felt-tip pen someone has written the dimensions of two panes of glass, apparently for the front window, indicating they were cut to tolerances of 1/32nd of an inch. One pane is a whopping 7-feet by 10-feet, while the second is somewhat narrower. Check the photo after the break.
Writing on the side of the crate says, “Desert. Glass” and the dimensions of two panes, one down to a 1/32nd of an inch. Notice the damage to the cardboard protective layer, despite the many warning labels.
