- a card receiving bay;
- a support opposite the bay, the support including a pocket;
- and
- a first airflow restrictor door pivotably supported by and extending from the support towards the bay, the door comprising:
- a proximal end having a proximal end surface adjacent the support and facing away from the support towards the bay;
- and

An apparatus comprising:
- a first card receiving bay;
- a second card receiving bay;
- a support opposite the first bay and the second bay, the support including a first pocket opposite the first bay and a second pocket opposite the second bay;
- a first airflow restrictor door pivotably supported by and extending from the support towards the first bay, the first door including a foot having a curved lower surface facing the bay, wherein the first door is pivotable between an extended position obliquely extending across the first bay and a retracted position in the first pocket and wherein the first door is resiliently biased towards the extended position;
- and
- a second airflow restrictor door pivotably supported by and extending from the support towards the second bay, the second door including a foot having a curved lower surface facing the bay, wherein the second door is pivotable between an extended position obliquely extending across the second bay and a retracted position in the second pocket and wherein the second door is resiliently biased towards the extended position.
