side panel 102 is illustrated and (3) the arrangement in Fig. 7
wherein the securement of the removable access panel 114 to the
front panel 64 is illustrated. While the securing means
illustrated in Fig. 12 is visually similar to the means for
securing the back, side, front and bottom panels, the securing
means illustrated in Figs. 10 and 7 are not. That is, as
