to properly connect the lower end of the canvas liner in
production since the staves are normally welded to the
collar. This prevents prior mounting of the canvas due to
possible damage and thereafter it inhibits access to this
area for the subsequent mounting of the lower end of
the canvas liner. Another troublesome factor is that the
