                    This truck and trailer hauedl all the rolls of the big top and side wall. The tent canvas was rolled in sections making it lighter and easier to handle. Some of the bigger circuses had spool trailers that would roll the canvas up mechanically. This was faster but one would have to be careful because of the rolling speed of the spindal  could catch it and tear.
