	School desk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The term school desk is used mainly for two types of desks: The tiny chair and desk combinations made for pre-schoolers and the larger institutional desks installed in a typical school room.
		This kind of desk gives them a play surface more suited for their height than most of the furniture in a normal home.
		Some are versions of the ergonomic desk or the computer desk joined in rows and interconnected with vast quantities of wiring while others are very simple individual writing tables.

		The desk forms we are familiar with in this beginning of the millennium were born mostly in the 17th and 18th centuries.
		The ergonomic desk of the last decades is the newest addition to a long list of desk forms, but in a way it is only a refinement of the mechanically complex drawing table or drafting table of the end of the 18th century.
		Refinements to those first desk forms were considerable through the 19th century, as steam-driven machinery made cheap wood-based paper possible in the last periods of auto desk the first phase of the industrial revolution.

	Station Information - Fall front desk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Unlike the secretary desk, the fall front desk's desktop panel is in a perfectly vertical position when in its closed position.
		Thus, the fall front desk is identical in shape to a Bargueno desk which would have been placed on a stand of drawers, or more precisely to the form know as Desk on a chest or as "chest-on chest".
		The fall front desk is also called a drop front desk or drop-front desk, and sometimes also a drop lid desk.

	Rolltop desk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A rolltop desk is basically a 19th century reworking the pedestal desk with in addition a series of compartments shelves drawers and nooks in front the user much like the Bureau a gradin or the Carleton house table.
		In that it a descendant in function and partly in of the cylinder desk of the 18th century and it a relative of the tambour desk whose slats retract left and right the sides instead of up and down the back.
		The rolltop desk was the mainstay of small or medium sized office at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th.

	Spinet desk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A spinet desk is an antique desk form which has the exterior shape a slightly higher than usual writing table fitted with a single drawer under whole length of the flat top surface.
		The image of the front of spinet desk shows it in a closed while the image of the side shows in a partly open position just before hinged mobile part of the top is on the fixed part of the top.
		By this capacity of hiding or revealing main working area the spinet desk could said to be a smaller less obtrusive of the rolltop desk and the cylinder desk.

	List of desk forms and types - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Any list of desk forms and types encountered in the modern office or home, and in antique stores is incomplete and contradictory given the variations in the naming of desks.
		The division between "desk form" and "desk type" presented here is arbitrary, since there is no consensus as how to differentiate function, form, type and style in these matters.
		A form here is something rather specific, while a type can be applied to any given form or all of them.

	Desk Top Backgrounds -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The slant top desk can be considered in some ways as the ancestor or the little brother, of the secretary desk for it is for all practical purposes a secretary desk without the massive bookcase on top of it.
		Like the Wooton desk, the fall front desk and others with an hinged desktop (and unlike closable desks with an unmovable desktop like the rolltop desk or the cylinder desk) all documents and various items must be removed from the work surface of the slant-top desk before closing up.
		The slant-top desk has been handcrafted in a variety of styles, the most famous being probably the block front seashell desk of the 18th century which was popular among the well-to-do of Colonial America.

	Plantation desk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The form has been known to have been used on Southern plantations in the United States, but it is not limited to them.
		Like a normal fall front desk the work surface must be cleared of all materials in order to raise it in a vertical position and thus close off the small drawers and pigeonholes set in front of the user.
		While the fall front desk evolved from placing a chest, on its side, on a stand made for it, to its exact dimensions, as is the case with the Bargueno desk, the plantation desk form was born by placing such a chest, on its side, on a table a bit too deep for it.

	Electronic Mailing Lists - Mailman Glossary
		If a list member turns digesting on, list messages are sent to that member bundled together (usually once per day), instead of as separate email when the message arrives at the list.
		List postings can be held for administrator or moderator approval to cut down on unwanted messages to list members.
		Members for whom messages are bouncing will first have their list membership set to nomail, which stops delivery of list postings to the member until the nomail setting is removed by the member or administrator.

	Station Information - Bible box (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A Bible box is a small container whose form was originally meant to store and/or use a bible.
		In much of Europe this kind of box was produced in a good number of materials, such as wood, metal or ceramics, in simple or extremely ornate styles.
		The term "Bible box" is sometimes wrongly used in the United States to qualify antique objects which are in fact simple portable desks with no biblical connection.

	Davenport desk
		A Davenport desk is a narrow, tall desk with an inclined lifting desktop attached with hinges to the back of the body.
		This desk owes its name to a captain Davenport who was the first to commission this particular design, from Gillows of London, near the end of the 18th century.
		The Davenport desk should not be confused with the Davenport sofa, which is usually a modern combination sofa and bed or an antique form of upholstered sofa based on a design conceived at the beginning of the 20th century by a Boston company called Irving and Casson and Davenport.

	Mailman Mailing Lists
		The list name can be as long as you like, but those sending messages to the list will have to enter every letter of the list name, so try to limit the name to a reasonable length.
		The Mailman list owner oversees the day-to-day operation of the list and is usually the first point of contact for list members should difficulties with the list arise.
		All mailing lists on ITC computers must be affiliated with the professional, scholarly and academic endeavors of the students, faculty and staff of this institution; recreational lists are not created.

	Typewriter (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the late 19th and the start of the 20th century a person who operated such a device was sometimes also called a "typewriter," but it then became more common to call the person a "typist." A Typewriter has a keyboard, with keys for the characters in its font.
		The method by which the Typewriter actually marks the paper now varies as greatly as types of printers do, but until the end of the 20th century was by the impact of a metal (or, later, metallized plastic) type element against an "inked" ribbon which caused ink to be deposited on the paper.
		Selectric mechanisms were widely incorporated into computer terminals in the 1970s, because the typing mechanism was fast and jam-free; could be initiated by a short, low-force mechanical action; and did not require the movement of a heavy "type basket" in order to shift between lower- and upper-case.

		The 15th century Vargueno or Bargueno is probably the oldest known desk form which continues to be produced, if we exclude the early medieval Trestle desk.
		Some would not count the trestle desk because in early times it served as a dining table, a money-lender's counter, and just about anything else in addition to serving as a desk.
