Polygrapher from Darwin's Commonplace Book

 

1731 - 1802 (c.)

Photograph: David Remes (2003)

In 1778-79 Darwin continued his work on a copying machine and perfected a 'polygrapher' - a model working on the pantograph principle. It was able to duplicate writing and drawings, and produced an identical copy. In this variant the pen was not stiffened, and the height of the machine was reduced.
