The interior of the cabinet is quite primitive by comparison to the exterior.  It has seven rows of drawers with paper labels.  There is a drawer for each letter of the alphabet and each single digit number, which suggests it has been used in a printers latterly.  The top rows seem to have the original sizes for the drill  bits. There should be 71 drawers but 2 are missing.
