Connecting wires to these terminals?

There's always alligator clips and such. ;D

I have several open frame linear power supplies with these posts. Without exception, they are soldered. On one, wire was inserted to the top hole and soldered. On the other, wire was weaved amount 3 terminals and soldered. On third, wire was soldered on side, rather poorly.

Thanks.
Incidentally, this is the first time I've bought an open-frame unit like this. I was interested to see that it is closed on four sides and open on two, has holes that appear to be about the size for mounting screws, and there is a good bit of a gap between a couple of adjacent panels.
Is there a usual way to mount or enclose open-frame units like this?
tkamiya:
There should be holes on one or more sides. Be careful with transistors. They are usually electrically isolated from the frame. You don't want them touching something else and cause shorts.
I mounted with transistor side down and used long stand-off.

NASA-STD-8739.3 illustrates the use of and the soldering to those and related terminals, including inspection criteria.
