An architect would use it to trace large format paper plans into the computer. Or would have, back when architects were transferring from paper to digital work. Coincidentally, I worked in one of the last paper based practices in my town, back in the 19COUGHCOUGHies

That... is epic. No other word.
I can imagine working on it as an artist though. I love drawing and can't get the hang of doing it on the computer directly.

I used one near exactly like that, in 1993-1994 - like Bunsen said, to trace large paper drawings into the computer. Mine were maps though, and not nice simple maps like google maps... but every little line on ones like http://www.adirondacknorthway.net/maps/lake_george_topo_map.jpg
Thankfully, I didn't do that long, and soon moved to handling the post-digitised datasets.
The tablets didn't really allow *drawing*, rather you used a puck (like this one) to click along each line, and piece by piece build up one feature. Four and five button mice be damned, the one I used had 18 buttons 🙂 .
Pretty neat stuff, but not terribly useful for artists.

That really reminds me of the Bahro Slates!
