Long Tapering Drawer of Natural Size
Selection is a new type of under desk
drawer, most suitable for fitting under a
particularly wide table.
Viewed from the front it is about 6 inches
deep at one end, gradually tapering to a
point at the other end. Running from
front
to back are a
series of upright divisions,
with the spaces separating them being
halved each time, so that the last one is
only the width and depth of a pencil lead.
Now all that needs to be done is to fill it
up with
all the stuff that lies around on the
average desk (mine is like the scene
following a plane crash).
Everything should find its own natural
place by virtue of width and depth. Six
inch dictionary at one end, sewing
needles
at the other; my collection of dead fies in
tiny test tubes somewhere near the right
hand side adjacent to the found teeth of
small, unknown mammals; and just to
the
right of the diverse mangled rusty nails I
have been collecting for the last few
years.

This really cries out for art. |

You could combine this with your Spooky Desk-Hand - the sensor hairs could sense the size of the object, and the hand could place it accordingly. |
