Manufactured by DB Fletcher Furniture Design @ http://www.dbfletcher.com/caps... Capstan TablesThe 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.All Capstan Tables are exclusively designed and built, and each one numbered. Careful consideration is always given to a table's location and components are made to the highest standards. Nautical tables are so constructed that they are able to resist a harsh marine environment to the point that they may be positioned permanently on an exposed deck.Read about the genesis and history of the Radially Expanding Table.Specifications * Tables can be of any style and of any suitable material and are exclusively designed for each commission * The area of the table expands by 73% allowing two sizes with seating capacities of six and twelve. * Typical diameter variation -- small size 1.9m (74.75"), large 2.5m (98.5") * The operating mechanism is beautifully engineered, simple and robust.PATENT GRANTED. DESIGN RIGHT.(via BoingBoing)

The pits on CDs and DVDs (and digital audio Laserdiscs) represent the bits in the stream. Their depth does not vary and the "valleys" are simply sequences of pits placed close together.Furthermore, the groove in vinyl records does not vary in width, except at the very end.FYI, I worked in DVD mastering and duplication for several years, and the information is easily available on several websites. If you want to spread nonsense, go ahead, but you're really only making a fool of yourself.

actually you both are wrong cds dvds and laser disks use pits and valleys to make the electronic signal where records have one continuous valley that varies in width and depth a cd has many pits that vary in depth and length

I think I'd just spend all day just turning this table around....Throw some tie dye ink...With some pot...Yeah..This is a stoner table.A stoner with nothing to do

No, you are confusing CDs and DVDs with Laserdiscs. Laserdiscs do indeed encode the video (and, optionally, the audio) as a waveform. CDs and DVDs have a series of pits and spaces, representing the 1s and 0s of a digital stream. Just search for "microscope CD" on Google Images and you'll find plenty of close-up photos.I'm sure you'll agree those look nothing like the guide disc used in this table.

CDs don't have tracks / gorooves, just dimples representing the bits. You're probably thinking of vinyl records.

Are you perhaps of the morbidly obese persuasion? Thought so.
