Treadle drop leaf question

Paul Fox All Messages By This Member #4103 I recently got a Wheeler & Wilson treadle table with a drop leaf on the left end. It looks as if the support for the leaf should be a bar of some sort that slides out from a gap above the drawers just under the tabletop. When retracted, it may have extended all the way into the little cubby beside the bobbin area. Can anyone tell me what that support should look like, or be made of? Dimensions? From the opening that it retracted into, it looks like it had just a rectangular cross-section, perhaps 1" x 1/2" (from memory), lying on its side. Which makes me think it might not have been wood, but perhaps steel. paul =---------------------- paul fox, pgf@... (arlington, ma)
Enid Rudyk All Messages By This Member #4104 Hi Paul, my leaf is held up by a metal bar, not much play between the slot sides. It sticks out only about 1” into the cavity. I will try to take a photo and send. Not very tech savvy.

The main thing is that it's clearly not wood. (Which implies that mine didn't break -- it must have been lost. :-) paul =---------------------- paul fox, pgf@... (arlington, ma)
Bill Wells #4109 This is a photo of the pre-work I did on mine. It came without the drawers. The photo is before I took off the plate that held the drawers. The steel bar is shown in the extended position. It rides in a cut out and lands on a wedge to help hold the leaf. Hope these help. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Fri, Apr 22, 2022 at 7:48 PM Paul Fox <pgf@...> wrote: roxy via wrote: ?>? ? Mine slides in more than an inch.?

Thanks Bill. From the other photos I'd been thinking it was a solid bar, but your photos make it look more like folded or crimped steel. Either way, since I'll be cobbling something up myself, I now have a pretty good idea of how it should work. paul =---------------------- paul fox, pgf@... (arlington, ma)
