Revolving Outdoor Lunch Table
The Persons Seated around the Table Help Themselves to the Food Conveniently by Turning the Central Top
Picnic parties on one of the Maine lakes make much use of a large table, having a revolving top, so that the lunch may be placed on the center portion and the persons seated around the board may help themselves handily. The stationary top is supported on several cross braces of 2 by 4 in. stuff, and the revolving top, pivoted at the center, is carried on wooden roller bearings, fixed near its circumference. The lower portion of the table is in the form of cupboards which are padlocked, providing storage space for equipment left for the use of picnickers. The table is set under a pergola, which provides shade. Benches, curved to fit the table, may be used conveniently with it. A small table of this type is practical as a children’s play table, providing convenient storage space for toys and other articles.—E. E. Dickson, Holyoke, Mass.
