Abstract
Information obtained from 18 surviving panoramas and cycloramas, and a study of the behavior of canvas paintings on conventional stretchers under changing environmental conditions have led the author to develop a new self-adjusting continuous-tension stretcher, which is described in detail. See also AATA 21-746, 21-1838, and 22-561, for other discussions of this stretcher; see also 22-1302 and 22-1314 for films on topic.
