	Howstuffworks "How Billiard Tables Work"
		The origin of billiards is lost in history, but we do know that King Louis XIV had a table in the 15th century and that in 1600, William Shakespeare mentioned it in "Antony and Cleopatra" and Charles Cotton described the game in his book, "The Compleat Gamester," published in 1674.
		Billiards is a game that relies on the fundamentals of physics and geometry, and becoming an expert in billiards requires skillful mastery of the game's equipment.
		Billiard tables normally use tightly-woven cloth made primarily of wool with a synthetic such as nylon added for durability.

	Billiards table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Regulation carom billiards tables are perfect rectangles, with the bed of the table (the playing surface) measuring 10' by 5' (though 9' x 4.5' are increasingly common).
		On the sides of all varieties of billiard table are "rails" (or "cushions"), which are made from elastic materials such as synthetic or vulcanized rubber.
		Both the rails and slate beds are covered with 21-24 ounce billiard cloth which is most often green in color (representing the grass of the original lawn games that billiards evolved from), and consists of either a woven wool or wool/nylon blend called baize.

	Billiards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Billiards is a family of games played on a table with a stick, known as a cue stick, which is used to strike balls, moving them around the table.

	Pool Table Slate
		A table with this slate should be a little less expensive than a table with 1" slate.
		Tables are made with a wood framing attached directly to the bottom of each piece of slate or without any slate framing at all.
		When inspecting a table for purchase, be sure to ask about the framing, since the cloth on a pool table generally covers the slate, and it will not be obvious to the naked eye.

	History of SUB Game Room and Table Layouts
		The billiard table area was about 1450 square feet and accommodated six billiard tables (which were too close to the walls and each other - the room should have been at least 5' wider to provide an additional 315 square feet to properly arrange the billiard tables).
		Since billiard room use is increasing, and the size of the student body is expected to significantly increase (which will also mean more faculty and staff), I suggest that space for at least ten tables (we currently have six) be planned.
