It is also desirable that the net can be speedily stretched to playing position and as readily dismantled. Heretofore the usual manner of securing the net in position has been by means of strings or tapes sewed to the ends of the net, the ds of which are tied to the standards. This is unsatisfactory because the tapes fray and wear out easily, accurate adjustment of the of the table top.
