Abstract
A system for supporting a plurality of stacked glass sheets on edge includes a plurality of pressure-applying devices each including an elongated member to which is pivotally secured a pressure-applying member. The pressure-applying member can be moved along the elongated member to assure that tensioning forces are applied only to a central portion of a stack of glass sheets. In cases involving relatively high stacks of glass sheets the elongated member is preferably constructed as a pair of telescopically adjustable elongated members.
