   It's actually a pen plotter. Ten feet by ten feet by   
   about four foot high (so it is at a convenient level   
   when you load paper into it). Not one bit of it is   
   conventional design (there is no steel rod with something   
   sliding along it to make flatbed plots).   
      
   I've tried to find it in Google, but it isn't there.   
      
   It really needs some pictures.
