OTHER MATERIALS," to be as follows:-
I propose constructing rolls with an outer casing of wood instead of
cloth, rope, or other material or materials hitherto used for the above
purpose, in such a manner as to present an end grain of the wood 5
throughout the whole surface of the roll, and for this purpose I arrange
the wood in segments or wedges, and secure the same on a suitable
metal roller.
The rollers can be constructed of any size, and the arrangement will
be better understood by reference to the accompanying Drawing.
Fig. 1 represents a side view of elevation of a roll fitted complete ;
Fig. 2 is a cross section through same. A is the shaft on which is the
roller B; C, C, are the wooden segments or wedges fitting into the
grooves b, b, on roller B; D, D, are flanges secured on to the ends of roll
by means of the bolts d, d.
