The specifications of a recently developed lining stretcher are discussed. The stretcher is made of easily assembled interchangeable components; they are made of cold-process section iron which has been given an antirust coating of zinc. The lining canvas is hooked over the stretcher's metal teeth, and is made taut by turning corner expansion bolts. Full details are available from the inventor, Mr. Franco Rigamonti, via degli Zingari 50, Rome, Italy.
