I remember a Norm special on a plywood worktable used in the TV studio that had a nice way of locking in some casters to allow the table to roll. If I recall, there were some hinged braces that dropped down to lock the casters in place. Each end of the table had these braces hinged on a leg and tied together with a piece of rope. In action one would raise the table and that would release the braces to drop down under gravity. This would then lock the casters which were attached to a piece of plywood that ran front to back and pivoted somehow. To allow the table to be stationary you simply pulled the braces out using the rope and moved the casters up and away. Only thing is I cannot find the plans on the NYW site, nor a reference to the table. Anyone remember this and how the lock worked?
