extracted text (Extract Text): ANEW service bed has been designed
by an English manufacturer, which
will fit into a small valise when folded.
It is made of a fabric strong enough
to withstand hard wear. When it is
to be made up, an inner casing of rubber
is inflated by means of two valves.
Should it be torn or punctured, the
rubber can be repaired in the same
manner as a tire. The bed is twenty-
three inches in width, but to accom-
modate those who find comfort in sleep-
ing with knees slightly raised, the knee-
rests have been made seven inches
- wider on each side. It requires
flate the rubber
section. When

the bed is not
being used, the
air is dis-
charged from
the rubber sec-
tion.
