Excellent table. My Dad had (RIP) a Hamilton table at home in his drafting office at home (architect). The last time it was used was to draw my Brother's plans for his home, back in 1998. RIP Dad - we still have the table ready to go.
Dad never became CAD (computer aided drafting). He retired in 1992. I did, but drew drew for five years on the boards. We've lost the craft - personal lettering styles no longer there and lettering machines, triangles, compasses and French Curves are no longer in use. Can be purchased on line for a song compared to back in the day.
But speed - oh yeah, faster and can spun to view in any angle you wish. Progress.

Ah, Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Nice town, about 20 miles east of me.
