Can anyone tell me what a roller cancel is?

This is an example (I am told) of a roller cancel on Canada's Bluenose stamp:
Roller cancellers, I understand, were used for stamps on parcels. CDS cancellations on Bluenose stamps, which were to be used for parcels, are generally considered to be philatelic.
This stamp is currently available on eBay. (I'm not the seller!)

In the specific case of Belgium, reference to roller cancels almost invatiably means PRE-cancels.
khj's example is indeed a roller precancel, but a rather unusual one, in that it was used ONLY for precancelling covers of financial notifications from the Caisse D'Epargne (a kind of Savings Bank).
Most of the roller cancels seen on Belgian stamps are this format:
These were used on large numbers of issues, in some places until 1930. However from about 1906 some of the larger offices pre-cancelled a much clearer image using typography.
Similar precancel rollers were used by Luxembourg for the Luxembourg Ville issues and by Netherlands.

Thanks to everyone who replied to this question.
There is quite a difference in price, for example #59 used is $35.00, whereas with a roller cancel, only $7.50. I was checking my early stock of Belgium and note no roller cancels.

In the Scott Catalog under Belgium, starting with #38, and several stamps thereafter, they
refer to canceled stamps as having a "roller cancel". I checked the catalog quite well, but could not find any explanation as to what a roller cancel is.
