The Badger Steam & Gas Engine Club at Baraboo, WI had a "Chicago / Machinery Exchange Incorporated" NO 2 table saw donated to the club. Thanks to club member Lyle Opperman who sent us these pictures back in 2010. We have a bit of a scanning backlog.

This tablesaw has a wood (probably maple) top that can be raised at the front edge to adjust depth of cut. The blade does not appear to tilt, and neither does the table. This type of saw was probably used for applications such as building (or breaking down) shipping crates.
