Type case with equal sized sections

Sounds like cap cases — boxes about 1-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches in rows of 7 or 8 across on each side of the center divider? They were either used in conjunction with “lower cases” that only held the minuscules, or were used for cap fonts like titling or many ornamental fonts that don’t have lower case letters. There are double cap cases with one center divider and triple cap cases with the two dividers similar to a California case.

Sounds like a double or triple cap case.
They would be used for faces that are caps only.

Something like this?

This is a double caps case, also common is the triple caps case. It would naturally have 3 uniform sections.

Here is the most comprehensive list of case configurations on the internet, compiled by David Bolton of the Alembic Press in the UK:

[edit] I got ninja’d by Bob. Heh heh.
Here is a triple caps case:
