This is to inform you that your cabinet violates OSHA "Modular Synthesizer Guidelines - 1980 Rev
C" in particular Section 43, Paragraph 19.

In order to comply, the following modifications are in order:

a) anti-skid matting not to exceed 3/4" depth per MilSpec 347383495849584958459048509485409

b) 110dB backing alarm. Standard forklift model OK.

c) warning labels, minimum of 12, in a "highly visible manner" with the following inscription:

"WARNING! Severe jealousy may result as a result of improper viewing." and
"WARNING! Severe checkbook depletion zone!"

Thank you for your compliance. OSHA is *for you* not *against you*.

Your friendly gov't employee Sid
