    Something to do with architectural or engineering drawing. K&E manufacturers probably IIRC.

    At one time, I worked for a residential builder and the draftsperson's table was equipped with something very similar to this. The round knob was to adjust for angles when creating renderings and to guide the mechanism across the paper.
