As most tables extend too much for the slides to supportthe weight at the middle, it is usual to provide a center leg. Thisleg is fastened to the middle of a transverse rail screwed securely tothe middle slide of each group. The frame of the table, when extended, is separated at the middle,and if the cloth cover is not used the slides are exposed to view. Thisinterrupted frame is unsightly, and each leaf may be provided withits section of frame, so that when in place no gap is left between theextended ends. There are card tables made so two of the legs andone side can be pulled out to support a leaf when it is open. Theyare small extension tables, the frame itself forming a part of theslides.
