* Another way to crowd bays is to narrow the aisles and offset the bays.  In the figure above there is only two feet between the aisles.  People browsing are forced to meander around the protruding panels, which is why I call this layout the '''maze'''.  The maze has the disadvantage that its aisles constrict to only 4½ feet in spots, vs. the 6 feet for normal bays or phone booths.  But it does allow a viewer in front of each panel at the same time (that's three times as many viewers as phone booths) and has better sight distances than phone booths.  With a two foot aisle (I wince as I write that) it will gain you from 20% to 47% more panels, depending on row length.  It doesn't gain you as much as phone booths for short rows; which fits more panels will depend on exact room dimensions.  It's more flexible than phone booths - if you only need 10% more panels than normal bays would fit, you can go to a four foot aisle, only lose four inches of clearance over phone booths, and get much better sight distances and people / panel..
