The accompanying illustration shows a good form of section for the roll-shutter of an American roll-top desk. Each strip of wood is moulded to the section and firmly glued to a backing of stout canvas. Before gluing, the edges which are in contact should be rubbed with linseed oil to prevent any glue adhering; do not oil the part that is to be glued. The sections shown are actual size.
