Info

Pantograph made from wooden beams with brass joints. Special to the "Pantograph Perfectionné" is that the fixed point (the weight with the small needle points) is outside the drawing zone. As such eliminating possible damage to the drawing paper.

According to the label on the inside of the box, the pantograph could be bought either with the wooden joints or with the brass brass (the latter a surplus of 5 francs). Also the wood of the legs could be selected: "bois noir" (this object) or ebony (at a surplus).
