Abstract
Apparatus upon which components may be mounted have a table leaf with an outside surface and a pattern of mounting holes in that table leaf, and a facing sheet spaced from that table leaf by a first distance. A section of honeycomb core is situated between the table leaf and the facing sheet, being less than but at least one-half the first distance in depth. A sealing sheet is situated between the table leaf and the section of honeycomb core at a second distance from that table leaf which is several times smaller than the first distance. A load-bearing support section is between that sealing sheet and the table leaf. Methods of manufacturing a structure suitable for mounting components form an apertured table leaf, and a facing sheet spaced from the table leaf. These methods place a section of honeycomb core between the table leaf and the facing sheet, and seal off apertures in the table leaf from the section of honeycomb core with a sealing sheet which prevents contaminants from migrating between the apertures and the honeycomb core. The table leaf, the sealing sheet, the facing sheet, and honeycomb core are connected together.
