Drawing Device

[Donnart]

Can anyone remember the drawing device which was sold for children, years ago, to enable them to trace over a design and the device enlarger it. I am sure it was plastic arms hinged in the middle and one end held a pencil which draw it onto another sheet of paper. Not sure if it will still be on sale.

Pantograph

the children's version is pretty rickety but you can get a professional one that is- was used for technical drawing

its in the log tables, slide rule box....

Spirograph I think it was called., or was that something else ?

Yes, that was something else.
