In the olden days pencil sharpeners where heavy machines made from metal not plastic.
The A. W. Faber № 52/20 is a beautiful machine utilising a hand-cranked planetary sharpener.
The Guhl & Harbeck Jupiter 2 is a heavy machine with a cast iron base for added weight and holes to screw it to a table. It uses reversible rotary cutter-disks for sharpening pencils.

When you want to go to a console today it is a matter of pressing ctrl+alt+a function key (e. g. f2; or alt+f2 if your not coming from a console running X). But in the olden days this was what a console actually looked like.
