Hmm.  No one calls them Back Catches?  I see though that Reblitz calls
them Catchers, and so does Young Chang.  Now APSCO calls it a Back Stop in
the action diagram, but upright butt catches in the catalog, but if you
have to look in the index, to find out what page they are on, you'll be
left scratching your you-know-what.  

I dunno why the trap board is usually called the bottom board, or the
bottom pannel is called everything but... 
	Now if someone could explain why the key cover is called the fall
board.......
