Completely off-topic, but astounding for those of us who value innovative design as well as precision machinery in beautiful cabinets. --Cy-- "The expanding table shown here is the result of many years of development, but follows a line of history of more than one and a half centuries. This, the Fletcher Capstan Table, is the only table in the world with its unique properties. It is a circular table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, doubles its seating capacity, yet astonishingly remains truly circular. The expansion leaves are stored within the table and, in just four seconds, smoothly and quickly emerge upon rotation, rising and radially expanding outwards as the entire top is turned through 30°. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities." http://www.dbfletcher.com/capstan/
