My improved stand or support consists of a basis furnished with legs / and
provided centrally with a short hollow pillar or tube p within which is contained
one end of a rod capable of being raised or lowered within the aforesaid hollow
pillar or tube, so as to adjust the height according to requirements, when it can be

or other suitable material i in order that the enamel of the machine may not be
