[GreenKeys] M28 cabinets - skin tight vs skin tight

[John, W9DDD]

It has been difficult to wrap one's brain around that series of cabinets 
(covers?).

In my previous Teletype life I had never heard a label other than skin 
tight.  (I had a KSR and an RO in bell system gray which I suspect may 
have come from the Chicago Board of Trade)

Coming back into it and doing a lot of reading before having any 
machines, I kept seeing terms like compact and rack mount as well. And 
this is just in the Teletype literature.

And then recently I realized that skintight can be either 17 or 17.5" 
wide.  That may be where the rack mount term came into the picture.

So I like to use only the term skin tight for LPC206 like 
cover/cabinets.  (is it a cover or a cabinet?)

So then we see compacts like AN/UGC-20/25 and TT-176.  As near as I can 
tell both of those get the compact label, but you can also find 
reference to these as skin tight.  And I see the TT-176 labeled as rack 
mount also.

Did I make it more confusing?  I'm not sure even Teletype was consistent.
