[BCMA] Exhibit cases

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Dear Elizabeth,

A few years ago I was part of a discussion regarding cabinets.  Two
features which were mentioned were isolating the lighting from the exhibit
space using a sheet of plastic and installing a muffin fan in the lighting
compartment to vent the heat.  Check Amazon.ca to get an idea regarding
fans – their prices and one speed or variable speeds.

Our society had a custom cabinet built two years ago.  d.: 30" x w.: 48" x
h.: 84".
