There is no way I would part with it. The table is one of our most valuable pieces of equipment even if it is not used every day. Some of the uses include establishing watermarks on early maps as well as the usual tracing, etc. Yours sincerely Maura O'Connor Map Curator National Library of Australia ---------------------------------------------------------------- >Date: Wed, 13 May 98 15:25:00 -0800 >Subject: Re: light tables Sue: The Scripps Instituion of Oceanography Library still has a nice, custom made (oak) light table we had built in 1975. It comes in handy for users who need to sort slides; very few users trace maps/charts anymore because we have a large format copier in our facility. - PML -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Date: Wed, 13 May 98 16:21:57 -0800 >Subject: Re: light tables Sue, we have three, two of which work. have a zoom transfer scope, too. am in process of clearing office to accomodate them. haven't been able to find the "maps published by congress." it's the busy time of year. regards.
