A concave panel revolving around the centre of a fixed cylindrical chamber comprises the door.
The cylindrical chamber has two symmetrically opposite openings
The roof bears on four wheels running around a steel track that follows the circle's circumference atop the cylinder.
The circular ceiling panel is suspended from the roof and shares a centre point and diameter with the cylinder.
Affixed to the back of the large concave panel is a partial-circular table sharing the cylinder's centre point, suspended by a solid cross brace perpendicular to the panel.
A small opening has the top of its bottom sill flush with the top of the table.
The door has a continuous interior surface of felt that wraps the edges of the small opening, the table and its bracing.
The door is opened manually by pushing the concave panel.

Une porte-tambour dont le panneau central est concave et convexe. Marcel et son double. A fancy party. Un dictionnaire de l'infra-mince. Do you like music? Des chevaux et une rose. 48 cases en 47 bonds. Une caisse prête à être envoyée. Attendre et jouer.Il est ma veuve. Il ne portera ni noir ni demi-violet. A la fenêtre un cri. La fumée de cigarette qui sent aussi de la bouche qui l'exhale, alors les deux odeurs se marient.
Marcel avant de partir pour les Etats-Unis, une dernière fois, à la fenêtre. Passons maintenant au COUTEAU.
