Excalibur – the ultimate text reading machine Developed with the most demanding user in mind, and an emphasis on design elegance and technical ability, this is indeed an impressive machine; powerful yet lightweight and small enough to easily carry under your arm - and still be able to scan and read full "legal" size (8.5 by 14 inch) documents without compromise. Excalibur sets a new standard in operating simplicity: The designers have succeeded in providing all the modern facilities demanded by experienced reading machine users, while improving reliability and performance in the process, and still maintaining small size and weight and affordability.
