Product description
Beautiful vintage Rotanex Pole drafting table in excellent condition. Everything moves smoothly and the lamp works perfectly. This specialized drawing table was manufactured in the Netherlands and made by Rotanex-Pool, n.v. Wormerveer Holland during the 1950s. The table has a simple metal frame in a light green color. Both the slope of the table top and the height are adjustable, the table can be moved to any position and stopped in a certain position as the foot pedal controls the movement. This type of table is very rare and sought after, especially by older architects and some structural designers who still rely on paper and pencil and do their work manually. It is not only a free-standing piece of furniture, but also a workplace with a history full of secrets.The table has an original drawing board, lamp, wooden ruler and movable arm. This kind of scales is used in drawing for engineers. It consists of a pair of scales mounted at right angles on a hinged angle head that allows rotation. The protractor head can move freely over the surface of the drawing board by sliding along two guides attached directly or indirectly to the board. These guides, which operate separately, provide horizontal or vertical movement of the assembly in front of the drawing board and can be locked independently. The arms are balanced by a system of counterweights. The machine is mounted on a work surface with a hard and smooth surface. The tabletop is attached to a base with which it can be tilted and lifted. In this way, the realization of the drawing can be realized in the most convenient way on the work surface, which can be set at any angle from horizontal to vertical.In the drawing machine, you can perform a series of drawing operations that otherwise could only be carried out with the much more complicated use of a classic square and protractor, for example, drawing parallel lines, perpendicular lines, oblique lines according to the angle setting, angle measurement, etc. For the comfort of work was even greater - the drawing machine is equipped with a lamp on a curved arm, the switch of which is located in the hood.The table is in original vintage condition. All parts are fully functional.
