Ed, you keep coming up with these things that I have, and have never used.
I have one in the basement over the heat duct. Keep em coming tho. I'll let someone else answer this one. Maybe someone who hasen't been a winner yet.
Thanks for sharing the wealth. I really hope someone knows the answers I'm looking for. Some where out in the garage I think I still have the Sears one of these for using with a router. I came across the papers a while back but the tool I have not seen in years. Maybe I loaned to someone? Just too much good stuff.Dr.Zook said:Ed, you keep coming up with these things that I have, and have never used.I have one in the basement over the heat duct. Keep em coming tho.

Good start but make sure you read the "rules" for each of these posts they sometimes change a bit. Anyway see below for the answer I was looking for.ejant said:Pantograph for transferring patterns.
Oh yes the G-JOB, how I wish I had access to a large plotter again......steveo said:The unit is a pantograph. By placing the "adjusting" connectors in the proper positions stamped on the unit (or reading the destructions) the unit can be used to either 1) enlarge or 2) reduce the size of an original "pattern". Depending which point of unit contains the trace point (follower) and which point contains the pencil point, the result will either be a reduced or enlarged resulting new "pattern". Of course today, we just scan the original, insert into our handy dandy cad software, and plot it to the scale needed as a "government job" at work. Ah yes, remember doing it the hard way with one of these units in the 50's and 60's !!!!!!!!
