Each wall section 5-is formed of an outer panel;

, section 1 and wall section 5 may either be shipped as pre-assembled units, having insulation in place, or in knock-down form with the outer and inner panels separated. The lintel or wall unit maybe quickly assembled by placing, panel 3| face down, filling the open box-like structure so formed with insulation 13,- and then sliding panel into place as a cover. with the flanges 36 on 1;.

panel 3| engaged in the slot formed by angleiron.

Bracer 63 may then be secured to "thejbase 33 of 'panel 3| by machine screws so thatits flange will overlap and secure the, lower edge of panel 45. I

The roof unit 8 is assembled by placing insula tion 13 on the upper face of ceiling member 51 to the-leveLot-ridge-iill, and then securing roof 59 in place by clamps 6 l, 1 \Inassembling the several unit structures into the flnished booth, the corner posts I,- 3 will be located-inproperly spaced positions, and the postal then joined by lintel 1, and posts 3 by'one' of thewall sectionsL-5. This operation may be most easily accomplished by first placing the wall then inserted andall screws tightened.
