I would like to construct a wall mounted fold down table. In the level
position it will reasonably high ,this means that if the hinged end is
fixed at working height the length of table I would like cannot fold
up as the end would not clear the ceiling. Does any one know of a
track or mechanism that could be fixed on the wall that will let the
pivot end be lowered towards the floor so the full length could be
accommodated when in the vertical position.

Break the table in the middle so that when it folds the centre drops
towards the floor. Fit a gate type support that folds out from the wall
and supports both halves of the table.
