That is a fabulous idea, but I can see some entitled halfwit sliding them all together and not letting others use them. Unless this isn't in the US, then you're probably ok.

That's until some unsupervised kid sticks their fingers in the track while the benches are rolling and then the neglectful parents sue the city for millions.

I presume it is so users can roll the tables into the sun or the shade as desired. Very creative!

no other info other than "one at bedtime for rest". guess they didn't have to indicate what the medicine was in composition which is kind of scary because this was during the time when many pharmacist compounded their own medicines.
