<p>[QUOTE=&quot;REGinAUS, post: 332650, member: 6577&quot;]Brad, you are right. That bulbous part is exactly the same on all pieces, just different sizes. The whole lot is a dining suite (set?). It is quite possibly of British manufacture using American hardware for the extension mechanism or perhaps it was all made in the U.S.</p><p>Yesterday I realised that I had forgotten how the extension mechanism works. It is not cable operated, but uses rack and pinion drives to move each table half, no matter which end you pull. I remember thinking how clever it was.</p><p>Somewhere in this computer are photos of the dismantled table clearly showing the rack drives. I will post them, when I find them...</p><p>As for terminology, I notice this has also been referred to as a library table and a sofa table. What determines which term should be used?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
