Yeah, that's a much saner idea than folding them up in the middle.

Thanks for the idea, after blowing more than a couple of unproductive hours
searching around the internet, I did what I should have done from the
beginning.
I called Rockler, Woodcraft, and Lee Valley, the two guys at the former
stores couldn't remember ever having seen such a thing. Sue at Lee Valley
knew right away what I was talking about. Here are links to their hardware
for such a table.
For legs or two pedestals

For single pedestal
http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.asp?SID=&page=46847&category=3%2C43586%2C43594%2C46849&ccurrency=2
Thanks again.
Paul
Paul,
Tables and Chairs (The Best of Fine Woodworking), contains an article about
a "butterfly" extension table, which is what you've linked to. We bought
one years ago at oak express, and it works very well.
Good luck,
Kevin

Try spring-loading a pantry-style pullout slide or pocket door slides.
Hinge the leaf to that and float the other leaf (piano-hinged to the
1st one)
P.S: Watch the kids shred it the first time they see it opened. (Hey,
will this thing squish my sister's doll if I put it between the
leaves? How fast can we make it go down into the table? How much
weight will this thing handle?) <stomp, stomp, stomp> :(
