Abstract

A shaft-door unit that is operable for selecting the effective lengths of runners leading from a plenum is assembled into the manifold by lengthwise insertion through an opening in an end wall of the plenum that is subsequently closed by a closure member. The shaft-door unit may include as part of the unit, a journal sleeve for journaling the shaft or a tray which incoproates the journal sleeve.
