I would love to see a diagram of that system too, if you don't mind sending one to me. Thank you, Anna Musun-Miller Curator Johnson County Museum of History 135 North Main Street Franklin, IN 46131 ----- Original Message ----- Hi, Ms. Lane, Thank you for your suggestion! I would be very happy to receive a diagram of what you did with the collection in order to have a better idea of the system and materials used, if that's ok?

We installed the metal strips that are screwed vertically to the wall and then put the largest brackets I could find - I think they were for at least 18" wide shelves - on them at suitable intervals. We threaded galvanized pipe through the textile tubes and then just laid the ends of it over the shelf brackets, thus suspending the tubes. You might have to put stops on the brackets to keep your tubes from rolling off. The vertical spacing of your shelves can be adjusted to accommodate various diameters of rolls, and you may be able to put more than one tube per pair of brackets if the rolls are not too large. I'd be happy to provide a diagram if this is not a clear enough description.
