It was mounted over a table in a closet. Later I bought a machine that was called a LuciGraph (though I don't know if it was actually sold under that name). It was a steel contraption that with vinyl curtains, and it took up a huge portion of my kitchen space. I was happy to donate it to a school!Mark D.
