Abstract
Described is a multi-module storage array including cabinets, each with a number of identical bays for receiving any of a set of replaceable, modular push-in/pull-out articles, each to be inserted into any bay, each including a carry-handle having an outer bar joining a pair of arms pivoted from opposite sides of the article so that the arm ends can be swung against a first stop to pry-in the article (into its bay) and can also be swung oppositely against a second stop to pry it out, with the handle also adapted to be automatically "kicked-out" horizontal (to indicate readiness for removal) and being held horizontal unit reset.
