The URL is actually www.mcmaster.com. I want to thank you for sending out
their information. They carry a simple A-Frame cart for handling sheet
materials that will meet our limited needs. With a little padding in the
right places, it can serve well for limited transport of paintings and
framed art.

This was a topic touched on by several Museum-L'ers back in June. Hopefully
they see this post and take a look at the carts offered by this company.
They may work for you, too.
