">>...the old Dadant tall deep which I have used but I do not know of
a single beek still using."

AFAIK, it is still widely used in the midwest, and Dadant still makes
foundation and frames for it.  Moreover, it is the 'standard' brood
box in France, and possibly other European countries.  Their winters
are much milder than our own, and this can easily hold 80 pounds of
honey.  Where used, it is not reversed and supers are what we would
call 'mediums'.
