Lot #42: Lee Valley Pantograph, two metal rulers and package of artists’ graphite paper for woodworkers or artists

The pantograph allows you to copy any plane figure, enlarging or shrinking it to the size you choose. It consists of a clamp to anchor it to the working surface, four flat wooden bars, two bolts on which the bars pivot, a supporting pin with round end, a pointed stylus for tracing the image, a lead holder and a container of soft leads. The 12 hook ruler offers the edge registration of a tape measure combined with the accuracy of a solid rule. Made from stainless steel with ground edges, it has scales accurately zeroed to the hooks on one face for measuring from an edge and zeroed to the square end on the other for use as a regular rule and for depth measurements. All graduations are in 16ths. The 12 cabinetmakers ruler is in inches and mm with conversion tables engraved on the back.
