Abstract
A draw-out control compartment including a drawer housing open opposite a drawer housing rear wall to define a front opening. A control component support structure is received within the drawer housing and supported on drawer slides. A cable storage compartment is adjacent a rear wall of the drawer housing on the exterior side thereof, and opens into the housing interior. A control cable is attached to the control component support structure and extends into the cable storage compartment. The control cable has a length which permits the drawer-like control component support structure to be pulled out of the drawer housing with the control cable remaining attached, with excess length of the control cable when the control component support structure is all the way within the drawer housing being stored within the cable storage compartment.
