Abstract
A desk top work support device having a base with an inclined primary work surface, and having a secondary work support member positioned above the primary work surface. The secondary work support member is pivotally mounted on the base to provide a preset forward position for close reading, and a preset rearward position for secondary reference tasks wherein the secondary work support member does not interfere with access to the primary work surface. The pivoting linkage provides different inclinations for the secondary work support member with respect to the primary work surface in said forward and rearward positions to permit optimum utilization of remote light sources. The secondary work support member has a support bar, and removable work holders which may be slidably engaged within the base and are retained therein by the secondary work support bar when it is in its rearward position.
