Commonly, in the old days, the gap was enlosed for sound
suppression, especially when high poweres were used.
Sometimes 'in its own room'.
A point to Ponder is that many sorts of foam are Highly
Flammable. (cf the Station Night Club fire.) I'd be
real careful, in picking. Perhaps 'fiberglass insulation'?
