Abstract
An acoustical enclosure for an engine generator set which can be easily assembled and disassembled, as well as assembled and disassembled in close quarters. The assembly and disassembly can be accomplished without special tools. The enclosure is constructed in a manner to afford a change in size or configuration without a change in tooling. The rail/frame construction allows removal of side, end and top panels thus simplifying maintenance.
