    What is the primary use of out guides?

    Explanation
    Out guides are primarily used for chart removal. They are a type of filing accessory that helps keep track of files that have been removed from a filing system. Out guides typically have a tab or indicator that sticks out from the file cabinet, indicating that a file has been taken out. This helps to prevent misplacement or confusion when files are temporarily removed for reference or other purposes. When the file is returned, the out guide is removed, and the file is reinserted in its proper place.
