Before laptops became popular, people had very few options in taking their work with them as they travelled.
Here is a picture I took in Shimla, India, in the Himalayas.
It seems that one option open to those wishing to take their work home or to a meeting, was to take their entire filing cabinet with them. It might sound cumbersome but it seemed to work for this guy.

That looks to me like a medieval torture device!
Hahaha, very good 🙂
Won’t even tell you where they used to put the fax maching roll…
What a classic. India really must be just so totally different to Australia. Thankyou for giving us just a little taste of what it was like.
This guy at shimla is carrying cabinet to delivery it to somebody’s house from a Cabinet store. It is not filled with files which you said people take their work at home in file cabinet like this.
Don’t make false statement without knowing the facts.
