Old iron bandsaw question with pics

[Nate Rogers]

Anybody every seen anything like this? It is currently on ebay, clearly it is a bandsaw. It was made by "woodworking machine company", what I am confused about is the large table? Is it a combination machine? Or does the table slide? Any info would be fantastic, if nothing else this should create some interesting conversation.
Thanks
Nate

It's a product that was called "The Electric Carpenter". It was a combination machine incorporating the band saw, table saw and jointer. Hence, the large table on the side. More info on the manufacturer and product is available at OWWM.com:
