Horseshoe Curve
Horseshoe Curve
Serpentine tables are generally used in dining facilities to create an interest in how food is served or as a main table. Some facilities want to buy a tablecloth that drapes over or some want skirting and others want fitted cloth or fitted drop-overs to accommodate these odd shaped tables. Whatever design you want you must give the proper measurements so the cloth can be made properly.
Serpentine tables are like no others to cover because they have 4 measurements for tablecloths to fit correctly. Most people get the linear dimensions from the table manufacturer and think these dimensions will suffice, they don’t. These measurements are designed to aid the purchaser in knowing how much space they will take on their dining floor or in storage. These measurements are much like getting a tape measure and measuring a person’s height and then measuring the widest part of a person. Try making a piece of clothing to cover this person. It won’t work because it doesn’t take into account all the needed measurements to fit.
Serpentine tables unlike other tables, except maybe a half moon, need a cloth to contour to its shape not just cover it overall.
Some other tables commercially used are called feeder tables which are the same configuration as serpentines but are not as wide. Either way the formula to measure is the same.
First in this instance you must has a soft tape measure not a rigid one. Using the concept of a horseshoe take the tape measure and follow the curve of the outer portion of the table this is known as the outer arc, i.e., it is 96 inches, then measure the curve of the inner arc or inside of the table, i.e., it is 46 inches, next the width of the table, i.e., this is 30 inches then the height, which is normally but not always 30 inches. A quick note always measure from the top of the table to the floor or bottom of the table legs, if the table has wheels measure above the wheels.
Here is your measurement to get a tablecloth, skirting or fitted cloth for your table. Remember the table drop is based on a facilities needs and what look it created in the dining room.

Lip piercing information?
I’m 17, and I’ve wanted my lip pierced for some time. This isn’t some stupid spur of the moment decision; I’ve done my research on it. The only thing that I haven’t been able to find out for sure is what would happen if I ever decide to take the ring out permanently. Would I have a hole forever, or would it eventually grow back? I want to get an either 18g or 20g ring, starting with a captive ball ring, and later getting a horseshoe or curved barbell. I haven’t been able to find a definite answer on how piercings heal, and that’s one thing that my parents are wanting to know. I have a small scar on my lip from about 8 years ago, so another small mark or scar isn’t going to bother me.
Thanks so much to anyone who can help me out!
Also- I am already having to wait until at least I turn 18 (which is in April), because my parents won’t give consent.
I’ve wanted this long enough that telling me I’m disfiguring my body is not going to stop me.
Yes, you will always have a tiny dent. I have one from a piercing I took out years ago.
