Abstract: A wheel chair-accessible billiard table having a table top with a bottom being substantially parallel to the upper surface of the table top, smooth, and free of any obstruction. A central support column is below the table top, and the central support column is on a base. The central support column has dimensions such that the large wheels and pilot wheels of a wheel chair as well as the arm rests of a wheel chair can be moved under the bottom of said table top, and the base is low enough to avoid the foot rests of a wheel chair while also having lateral dimensions such that a foot rest of a wheel chair will contact the central support column before a pilot wheel of the wheel chair contacts the base.

Abstract: Compacting apparatus for making composition logs from particulate matter includes a compression chamber having a precompression chamber axially aligned on one end of the compression chamber and a feed mechanism for feeding particulate matter for loading into the precompression chamber for compression ultimately in the compression chamber.
