The frame has a pair of rotation bearings. The rotatable component has a first rotation position and a second rotation position. The rotatable component includes a pair of pivot portions supported by the pair of rotation bearings. The rotatable component further includes a first work surface configured to support preparation of a first wiring harness in the first rotation position. The rotatable component further includes a second work surface configured to support preparation of a second wiring harness in the second rotation position. The rotation mechanism is coupled with the rotatable component and is configured to rotate the rotatable component between at least the first rotation position and the second rotation position. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A table, comprising: a frame having a pair of rotation bearings; a rotatable component having a first rotation position and a second rotation position, the rotatable component comprising: a pair of pivot portions supported by the pair of rotation bearings; a first work surface configured to support preparation of a first wiring harness in the first rotation position; and a second work surface configured to support preparation of a second wiring harness in the second rotation position; and a rotation mechanism coupled with the rotatable component and configured to rotate the rotatable component between at least the first rotation position and the second rotation position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The table of claim 1, wherein the rotatable component further has a third rotation position, the rotatable component further comprising a third work surface configured to support preparation of a third wiring harness in the third rotation position. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The table of claim 1, wherein the first work surface is substantially flat. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The table of claim 1, wherein the first work surface defines a concave profile. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The table of claim 1, wherein the first work surface defines a convex profile. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The table of claim 1, wherein the first work surface defines an installed profile configured to approximate a shape of an installation location into which the first wiring harness is configured to be installed. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The table of claim 6, wherein the installation location is a portion of an aircraft. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The table of claim 1, further comprising a locking mechanism selectively engageable between the rotatable component and the frame to restrict rotation of the rotatable component. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The table of claim 8, wherein the locking mechanism is a pin. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The table of claim 1, wherein the frame defines a border portion enclosing a work area, and wherein the first work surface substantially fills the work area in the first rotation position and the second work surface substantially fills the work area in the second rotation position. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The table of claim 10, wherein the border portion encloses a rectangular work area as the work area. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The table of claim 11, the frame further comprising a leg disposed at each corner of the border portion. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The table of claim 1, wherein the first work surface and the second work surface include restraint features configured to restrict movement of the first wiring harness and the second wiring harness when the rotatable component rotates between the first rotation position and the second rotation position. ### Claim 14 A wiring harness layout table, comprising: a frame having a pair of rotation bearings; a rotatable component having a first rotation position and a second rotation position, the rotatable component comprising: a pair of pivot portions supported by the pair of rotation bearings; a first work surface configured to support preparation of a first wiring harness in the first rotation position;
