Abstract: We describe a method of calculating sharp lower and upper bounds on the
expectations of linear combinations of th records expressed in the Gini mean
difference units of the original i.i.d. observations. In particular, we provide sharp
lower and upper bounds on the expectations of th records and their differences.
We also present the families of distributions which attain the bounds in the limit.
