"Great article, thanks for sharing! I'm trying to find the history on a K&E drafting table. (It was a gift from a colleague who passed away so I can't ask him.) It's a double top surface with two draws high in the center of the stationary surface. The pitch of the table is adjusted from the horizontal surface, not below the drafting surface like in your pictures above. Think of a clam, hinge toward the drafter; one surface remains horizontal, the other hinges to create the drafting pitch. I can send pictures :- ) if helpful! I'm unable to find similar pieces on auction or reseller sites. We love the table, nfs, but want to know more of the history."
