Abstract: A storage file and retrieval system for readily locating and retrieving file folders and the like. The storage file and retrieval system includes a cabinet with one or more slidable drawers into which a plurality of index folder assemblies are stored. Each index folder assembly includes a file folder with an upwardly extending tab having a striker face. The striker faces of the various index folder assemblies are sequentially spaced from each other so as to be located in different striking positions. A reset bar is mounted to the interior of the cabinet to tilt the index folder assemblies forwardly toward the front wall of the drawer when the drawer is closed.
