The glide desk equipment includes an integrally forged inflexible iron body and a round inflexible desk pinnacle 10 ± 0.1 in [255 ± 2.5 mm] in diameter, with a shaft connected perpendicular to the desk pinnacle by a screw thread. The desk pinnacle and shaft with touch shoulder may be set up on a body in this sort of way that it is able to be raised and dropped vertically via the required peak of 0.500 ± 0.half in [12.7 ± 0.13 mm] by a turned around cam.

The desk pinnacle may have a best machined aircraft floor, freed from blowholes and floor defects. The desk pinnacle may be of bronze, having a Rockwell hardness range now no longer much less that HRB 25 with an area thickness of 7.five mm, and could have six critical radial stiffening ribs.
